New Capabilities in ENC R&D Aim to Accelerate Automotive Innovation

ENC R&D established 3 additional test capabilities in 2020 beyond current various types of test competency to support innovation in automotive market.

HUD (Head-up Display) test platform is a collaboration between ENC R&D and CRL to combine a multifunctional vibration platform and laser technology. The new test system will help to benchmark bearings solutions with existing ones in a HUD unit in terms of NVH performance and lifetime to accelerate co-development with customers for high end wind shield HUD.

High speed rotary test platform is a versatile system to evaluate sealing performance in critical applications e.g. transmission in powertrain for traditional combustion engine and EV. With max speed of 20K rpm and wide temperature range from -40~120C the new system will provide solid and unique test data for researchers to develop innovative sealing solutions to automotive market.

Swivel torque tester is dedicated to automotive interior market for future development of swivel seat with the evolution of future cockpit in vehicles. ENC R&D together with commercial teams in Shanghai is collaborating with our key customers to co-develop sliding solutions using Norglide®/Springlide® product for next generation swivel seat and the test system provide strong support to new product development and concept validation.

New Sliding Solution for Machine Tools Market

ENC R&D team worked with one of the world’s leading companies in machine tools market to successfully develop a new sliding solution for their machine centers with technology of PTFE based compound tape and bonding solutions. The new product package has been released in PPL Minhang plant and helped Seals business win 250KE orders in China.

Back to 2019 the customer was facing bonding issues on their machine centers. The business team took the opportunity to approach to the customer and helped to build collaboration between customer technical/quality team and ENC R&D team. The key technical people from customer visited SGR Shanghai in 2019 and they were impressed by our competencies and capabilities in technology innovation as well as application based development capabilities. During development of the bonding solutions R&D team kept close connection with the customer and got active support from them to get customized components needed for the performance and aging test. The customer intimacy shows critical effects which makes the co-development smooth and successful.

New Sealing Solution for Air Scroll Compressor Market

ENC R&D launched a tip seal product made with new PTFE compounds Rulon 1835 to help grow business of scroll compressor for EV market.
Tip seal is a critical sealing solution which ensures smooth operation of the scrolls as well as high efficiency of air output and at the same time can endure severe operating conditions e.g. high temperature, high pressure and high surface roughness. Based on application conditions and specific customer requirement ENC R&D team worked with design engineering and process team to develop a specific novel PTFE compound which is highly wear resistant under high temperature and high pressure conditions.

EV battery application lab continues growth in SGR Shanghai CMP lab and support Tape Solutions global spec-in project. The lab has built up mechanical, aging, electrical and thermal test capability, and is directing to more system test with battery cell, module and pack. Provided DV test, material and application studies, hosted important customer visits and technical communications from battery maker, automotive OEMs and academic institutes.

New generation of compression pad for EV battery was launched. Commercial name PF100. With end users' demands on higher EV battery energy density, the space reserved for compression pad between cells are limited. The new product can better serve the requirement on broader compression range between cells and flatter compression force across the range.

Extractables competency developed within life sciences and CRL, has been delivering plenty of test methods, and tons of data and reports to bioprocess solution business. These test methods are targeting for identifying and quantifying ppm level of organics and inorganics. The high quality reports give more and more positive impact on product promotion and business growth.
The strong collaboration among life sciences plants, quality, business teams and R&D, allow us to be more and more competitive for our products, and extractables capabilities when comparing to our competitors, and allow us to give more and more technical impact on global industry standards.
And all these are dedicated to make our life better and safter.

诺顿A288

中国拥有世界上最大的家具制造业，同时中国也是世界上最大的家具出口国家。在木制家具，例如门，床，桌，椅的制造过程中，上漆和打磨是最重要的环节。一般地，工人从粗粒度到细粒度逐步打磨，上漆，直到家具的表面质量达到客户要求。

中国漆面家具市场总量巨大，圣戈班的诺顿品牌在这个市场中有卓越的表现，拥有最大的市场份额。

近期，上海研发中心和整个项目团队（包括产品，销售，研发，工艺）发布了一款新产品：诺顿A288。相比于其它竞争对手产品，A288在漆面家具应用中提升了约60%的使用寿命，同时也保持了高质量的表面效果和高效率的打磨过程。A288优异的性能受到了经销商与最终客户的积极肯定！

我们相信，圣戈班诺顿的产品会在中国漆面家具市场上继续领跑，保持产品与技术的领先优势。

诺顿蓝火超薄树脂切割片成功上市
