Durethan is the trade name of Lanxess for its range of engineering thermoplastic materials based onPolyamide 6, Polyamide 66, and their Copolymers.
• Pocan is the trade name of Lanxessfor its thermoplastic polyesters based on Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
Polyamide and Polybutylene Terephthalate belong to semi-crystalline polymers offering an excellent combination of mechanical and electrical properties coupled with good resistance to heat and chemicals.

Strength and Limitations of Hybrid Technology
• Complex structures providing high mechanical performance possible
• Low weight
• High stiffness
• Good dimensional accuracy
• Excellent dimensional stability
• Corrosion resistance
• Low number of additional fixing elements
• Easy integration of functional elements
• Mass production approved manufacturing processes
• Reduced part costs
• Lower investment costs compared to full steel solution
• No post molding treatment required
• Easy to recycle
• Achieving cost advantages normally requirehigh-volume production
• Involvement of two different processes, which needto be fine-tuned with respect to each other
• Higher investment costs compared to full plasticssolution
Advantages Limitations
