DOMO Chemicals unveils new sustainable polyamide solutions at Fakuma 2024
Turning used fish nets into opportunity
One of DOMO’s standout offerings at Fakuma is its expanded range of TECHNYL® 4EARTH® recycled solutions, featuring polyamides made from post-consumer fishing nets. In partnership with Sea2See, an organization committed to the collection and reuse of discarded fishing nets in Africa, DOMO’s innovative solution not only reduces reliance on fossil fuels but also supports local communities by generating income from the recovery of these materials.
Pioneering lightweight solutions for mobility
The automotive industry is increasingly focusing on lightweighting to reduce emissions. In collaboration with BRANO, DOMO has developed a lightweight polyamide brake pedal for a heavy-duty truck, reducing the weight of the part by approximately 27% and the overall cost of the final component by some 60%. This innovation demonstrates the immense potential of DOMO's materials to replace metal in critical components.*
Another exciting reveal at Fakuma is TECHNYL® LITE, a groundbreaking polyamide-based unidirectional (UD) composite tape. Reinforced with glass or carbon fiber, this tape offers outstanding strength and stiffness, making it a versatile metal replacement in the automotive, sports and leisure, and construction sectors. Visitors at Fakuma will have the opportunity to explore how this product is revolutionizing lightweight design across multiple industries.
Innovative solutions for food and water safety
DOMO is also launching two new PA6 solutions certified for food and water contact, including WRAS hot water temperature certification. The innovative TECHNYL® SAFE C range cuts CO2 emissions by nearly 22% compared to traditional brass components. These solutions are ideal for water management applications such as filtration systems, pumps and valves, offering safer and more sustainable alternatives to conventional materials.
