Vyncolit VN will be situated on the other side of our existing production building but it will no longer be part of the GE Power Controls site, which has been its home since 1993. As a result the postal address changes as well as all telephone and fax numbers.

"We look forward to continuing to serve our clients from this new location,” indicated Henny van Dijk, General Manager of Vyncolit NV.

Opening of new office building Vyncolit - Ghent, Belgium PDF E-mail
Thursday, 28 January 2010

V
yncolit and its buildings have their histories deeply rooted in the city of Ghent: Phenolic molding compound, Vyncolit’s key product, was invented by plastics pioneer Dr. Leo Baekeland more than a century ago. He was born in Ghent and studied there as well. Baekeland must have known the current Vyncolit production building, since it has been a landmark in Ghent since 1832, where it was first used for producing textile, the product that was bringing wealth to the city of Ghent since the Middle Ages.

Ghent ambition is to combine the preservation of the past with innovation and renewal. The city not only respects its architectural history, but also aims to keep historically important industrial processes, such as the production of our trusted thermoset, within the Ghent region. The construction of Vyncolit’s new building, with R&D-lab and prototype center, fits exactly to the city’s philosophy.

The new office building is situated alongside a canal and an important road into the town centre. This decade, the city of Ghent will transform the area where Vyncolit is situated, into a new industrial development; Vyncolit’s new office building is the first step.

Turbocharger Housings; Blowing the conventions out ! PDF E-mail
Wednesday, 10 December 2008

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

In order to be able to keep the high dimensional accuracy of the compressor housing in the given temperature range (-40°C to 250°C), it has been necessary to select a plastic which possesses the demanded thermo-mechanical characteristics. This refers particularly to the high thermostability, high heat resistance to ageing, high dimensional accuracy in the manufacturing process, thermal expansion similarly to the aluminum and small creep behavior.

These requirements are fulfilled by a glass beads and fibers reinforced engineering Vyncolit® phenolic thermosetting polymer, processes by injection molding.

Electric Water pump PDF E-mail
Wednesday, 18 June 2008

C
ontinental-VDO has developed an electrical water pump (Smart Coolant Pump SCP) with Vyncolit X6952 grade Vyncolit X6952 datasheet. This pump, injection molded by Baumgarten automotive technics GmbH in Neunkirchen (Germany) is mounted on Six Cylinder in line Engine. This Vyncolit engineering material was chosen for its excellent mechanical properties. This allowed Continental-VDO to design a powerful pump with very thin walls. This pump, with only 200W hydraulic power displaces 9000 liters of coolant an hour.

The advantages of an automotive electrical water pump, compared to a conventional water pump which is part of the powertrain, are high flexibility in cooling management, and much more freedom at assembly on the engine.

The phenolic pump saves 123 grams compared to the aluminum version. Parts are molded within required tolerances and the electrical connector is integrated (over molded).
