L ow pressure exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) has a big potential for the reduction of engine emissions.
However, the use of this approach creates an extremely corrosive attack on the metallic components of the turbo compressor (housing, wheel,…), as part of the exhaust gasses are recirculated through the turbo.
This phenomenon could be avoided by applying a special coating on the aluminum parts, or use a more cost-effective approach by using thermoset components.

Vyncolit materials have already been approved for use in these turbo applications (see article on our website “Turbocharger Housings; Blowing the conventions out! - 10dec2008).
Our materials are now also tested against this chemical attack, and have passed the “blow-by resistance“ test from Volkswagen (PV3936). The blow-by gas is a mixture of unburned fuel, oil, nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide, which can form strong corrosive acids. |

M r. Shigeru Hayashi, Executive V.P. of Sumitomo Bakelite Co., Ltd. and Mr. Daniel Termont, Mayor of the city of Gent, gave the starting signal for the project that will lead to Vyncolit's new office building / Technical Centre. In his speech, Mr. Hayashi referred to importance of Gent, the birth place of Leo Baekeland, in the phenolics industry.
Mr. Termont promoted his city as the place where technology development and living well have found the perfect balance. Both expressed their expectation that Vyncolit will continue to flourish in Gent.
Before 1993 Vyncolit was the engineering compound producing part of the current GE Power Controls Vynckier. Over the last 15 years Vyncolit has become increasingly more independent from the previous parent, but still making use of services such as reception and canteen. Beginning of 2010 the administration, marketing and R&D functions will move to the new office which is situated on the other side of the Vyncolit production building.
As of that moment Vyncolit NV will have a new address.

O ne of the recent innovations of Vyncolit is to support and provide the right material for a brand new principle of turbocharger plastic housing developed by Woco Industrietechnik GmbH in Germany.
 Woco phenolic turbohousing
These requirements are fulfilled by a glass beads and fibers reinforced engineering Vyncolit® phenolic thermosetting polymer, processes by injection molding.
A complete article of this development published by MTZ can be found in the download 'Trade Publication' section of Woco website or in ATZ online website
