This "value-priced" line ranges from 88 to 1099 tons. According to CPT general manager Mike Green, these machines use up to 80% less energy and water than standard hydraulic presses and also reduce noise levels. The Smart Mold Controller with B&R; 10.4-in. display allows operators to profile stages of injection speed, holding pressure, back- pressure, and screw rpm with closed-loop control. Pricing starts in the "low $40,000 range," according to CPT, making the EV2 Series unusually affordable for its capabilities. CPT will exhibit at NPE 2018 in Orlando, Fla., in May. It will not have an EV2 model, but will operate one of its higher-end TSV Series servo-hydraulic toggles with an IML system. 513-619-7415 • cinprotech.com INJECTION MOLDING MATERIALS New Nylon, PPA & PPS Grades For Water Management DSM Engineering Plastics (U.S. office in Troy, Mich.) has launched a variety of new grades aimed at water management, such as water heating systems, water meters, sanitary products, appliances, and hot-water connectors. • New grades in DSM's EcoPaXX nylon 410 range are suited to long-term contact with water. • ForTii Ace WX51-FC is a 30% glass-rein- forced PPA based on nylon 4T chemistry with a high glass-transition temperature of 160 C/320 F. It was developed for drinking-water applications and long exposure to water at 100 C/212 F and above. Injection molded parts reportedly show superior weld-line strength reten- tion after long-term exposure to hot water above 100 C. • Also for drinking-water contact is Xytron G3020DW-FC, a 30% glass-filled PPS; Xytron G4020DW-FC, 40%-glass PPS; and Xytron G3020E, impact-modified PPS. What reportedly distinguishes these grades is lower flash than with other PPS brands, while retaining high flow. Xytron PPS has a continuous-use temperature of 240 C/464 F. 800-333-4237 • dsm.com @plastechmag 77 Plastics Technology N E W P R O D U C T S F O R P L A S T I C S P R O C E S S I N G
