HC Plastics News: The Plastics Technology Center in Valencia, Spain, coordinates the European Recotrans program. Their goal is to develop an efficient and sustainable process that can be used to create a range of advanced vehicles, trains and trucks. Composite material.

This new composite blends thermoplastic polymer composites and metal materials to obtain lightweight, high-quality components. However, due to the time-consuming and costly production process, this material is only suitable for short production. Series parts.

Composite materials have many advantages in transportation and other industries due to their high performance and low weight. However, the problem is also obvious, that is, due to the complexity of the manufacturing method, it is unrealistic to achieve mass production.

The goal of this European project is to develop and implement a new efficient and sustainable manufacturing method that will ultimately enable the mass production of new composite materials for the transportation industry. The material produced by this project is a lighter, high-quality hybrid structure made of thermoplastic polymer composites and metals. Its production is low in cost due to time and energy savings, which helps to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

In particular, the project will develop two innovative technologies: an RTM process for obtaining long-fiber thermoplastic composites and microwave pulses, and a laser welding technique that adds metal inserts to composites. In combination with these new technologies, three samples were produced: mainly including the support columns of a Mercedes-Benz, the roof of a train made by Stadler, and the doors of a car made by Gestamp.

In the first phase of the project, the project leader will focus on the material requirements, the fit of the materials and the three sample manufacturing systems, and the choice and adaptability of the materials. The project, which lasted for 42 months, was attended by 13 partners from 7 countries and was funded by the EU's 2020 research and innovation project with a grant agreement number 768737.

Thiocyanate (also known as rhodanide) is the anion [SCN]−. It is the conjugate base of thiocyanic acid. Common derivatives include the colourless salts Potassium Thiocyanate and Sodium Thiocyanate. Organic compounds containing the functional group SCN are also called thiocyanates. Mercury(II) thiocyanate was formerly used in pyrotechnics.

Thiocyanate is analogous to the cyanate ion, [OCN]−, wherein oxygen is replaced by sulfur. [SCN]− is one of the pseudohalides, due to the similarity of its reactions to that of halide ions. Thiocyanate used to be known as rhodanide (from a Greek word for rose) because of the red colour of its complexes with iron. Thiocyanate is produced by the reaction of elemental sulfur or thiosulfate with cyanide


Thiocyanate[4] is known to be an important part in the biosynthesis of hypothiocyanite by a lactoperoxidase.[5][6][7] Thus the complete absence of thiocyanate[8] or reduced thiocyanate[9] in the human body, (e.g., cystic fibrosis) is damaging to the human host defense system.[10][11]

Thiocyanate is a potent competitive inhibitor of the thyroid sodium-iodide symporter.[12] Iodine is an essential component of thyroxine. Since thiocyanates will decrease iodide transport into the thyroid follicular cell, they will decrease the amount of thyroxine produced by the thyroid gland. As such, foodstuffs containing thiocyanate are best avoided by Iodide deficient hypothyroid patients.[13]

In the early 20th century, thiocyanate was used in the treatment of hypertension, but it is no longer used because of associated toxicity.[14] Sodium nitroprusside, a metabolite of which is thiocyanate, is however still used for the treatment of a hypertensive emergency. Rhodanese catalyzes the reaction of sodium nitroprusside with thiosulfate to form the metabolite thiocyanate


Our main Thiocyanates are Sodium Thiocyanate, Potassium Thiocyanate, ammonium thiocyanate.
