ForTii® Ace:the game changer inmetal replacement If you’re looking to unlock new design potential in automotive applications – boosting performance, cutting fuel emissions and reducing cost of ownership - then ForTii Ace is your number one choice.
ForTii Ace helps you to engineer the incredible, by thinking beyond metal, and beyond its traditional alternatives. In fact this versatile material is the next generation PPA (polyphthalamide), that delivers a performance close to PEEK.
Key benefits:
The result: The potential to create a whole new generation of thermoplastics applications – from transmission components, structural oil pan, front engine cover, engine mount and thermal management systems– that meet the extreme needs of automotive manufacturers and drivers.
Potential application: front engine cover
Potential application: structural oilpan
• Excellent chemical resistance under extreme conditions (moisture, salt, oils, acids, etc)
• Outstanding NVH properties• Easy and robust molding and processing• PPA with highest aromatic content of >50wt%• Extreme stiffness and strength, up to 150°C• High peak temperature resistance, up to 320°C• Glass transition temperature of 160°C
Engine mount
Vs. Metal: ForTii Ace can replace metal at just 50% of the weight over a wide range of temperatures - but with no compromise on performance. NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) and need for secondary operations will be reduced.
Vs. PEEK: PEEK has a great performance profile for metal replacement, however it faces an economic hurdle. ForTii Ace delivers similar high-heat resistance, chemical and mechanical properties, but at significantly lower cost and with easy and robust processing.
Vs. PPA &PA66: ForTii Ace has a Tg of 160°C, which results in superior mechanical performance. It offers higher chemical resistance vs e.g. EGR, water/glycol and transmission oils. This enables engineers to realize new designs answering the need for light weight and integrated parts.
