Covestro high performance plastic for luggage and motorcycles

HC Plastics News: When the warm spring day drives away the winter frost, it also evokes the travel heat of motorcycle fans. The riders finally decided to start again, sniffing the smell of asphalt and conquering the world! Take out the vehicle and get ready to plan a short or long trip. However, there is no baggage for travel. What is the best way to store your luggage? Which baggage systems can make motorcycle designs exceptionally colorful? Which baggage systems are lightweight, sturdy, safe and easy to operate?

These are the issues that are considered by experts at Hepco & Becker GmbH. The company is one of the world's leading manufacturers of high quality motorcycle baggage systems and is headquartered in Pirmasens, Germany. The family business is also an expert in the toolbox field, incorporating its accumulated expertise and years of experience into a new bag called XCEED. The top loader was developed by the company in collaboration with EGON Engineering Goes On, a technology consultancy from Memmingen (Germany) based on high quality anodized aluminum and Covestro's impact resistant Makroblend® UT6007 plastic.

Extremely strong

“By combining these materials, we can use the modern lines and shapes to give the luggage elegance and value while maintaining a lightweight character. This suitcase can withstand many impacts and collisions in daily life and does not immediately cause its appearance. Damage,” explains Nils Arnold, design and development specialist at Hepco & Becker. Covestro's impact-resistant plastic is used in the base part of the luggage case and weighs only 4.5 kg. It is the cover, the case lock and the cover and the edge of the body. In addition, lid handles that can be opened and removed from both sides, and accessories such as beverage cans and beverage bottle holders are made of a mixture of polycarbonate and polybutylene terephthalate PC + PBT.

Matte fine textured surface

“Our materials have proven their superior performance in many ways. For example, it has extremely low temperature impact resistance and is not susceptible to cracking and chipping even at low temperatures, which is good for safety,” explains Thomas Vaillant, a plastics expert at Covestro. . The material is also resistant to typical motorcycle fluids such as gasoline, grease and fuel, and cleaning and maintenance products. In addition, the matte fine-textured surface can be injection molded without any defects, and its aluminum appearance complements each other.

Good fluidity and dimensional stability are other advantages of the modified elastomeric thermoplastic, ensuring that a portion of the filigree filament geometry is accurately replicated. For example, in the field of locks, the entire box (capacity of 38 liters) is fully adapted to the support and installation environment.

The Makroblend® UT range of materials is also suitable for other motorcycle applications. For example, they are used to produce weatherproof and impact resistant battery casings for electric motorcycles.

XCEED will be launched in mid-2018 and will be on display at the EICMA show in Europe, the largest motorcycle show in Milan in November 2017.

Cargo Elevator

The formal freight elevators are those that can push cattle or even forklift. The speed is generally 0.5m/s, and the load is larger, including 2t, 3t, 4t and 5t. Due to the need to enter the forklift truck, the floor sill is of reinforced type. The rear wall of the car should preferably be equipped with a crash plate, and the car bottom should be steel plate. The load of the freight elevator is very large, and the height and width of the door opening are generally made to be consistent with the height and width of the car as much as possible. Then the call button panel in the car is on the side car wall.
