Explore Akulon® Diablo
We created Akulon Diablo as a material to help customers tackle the ever-challenging temperature range within smaller, hotter turbo engines. As a result, the latest grade – Akulon Diablo HDT2500 – delivers a 3,000 hour continuous use temperature of up to 220°C with a significant improved HDT value.
Akulon Diablo is ideal for metal-to-plastic replacement in components for air intake systems, ranging from charge-air-cooler endcaps and air intake manifolds to air intake ducts, turbo exhaust resonators and engine covers. With its reduced weight, this material reduces both fuel consumption and resultant carbon emissions – good for people, planet and profit.
Jeep exceeding extreme high heat thermoplastic requirements with Akulon® Diablo
At the Jeep exhibit at the 2023 Detroit Auto Show, the Wagoneer was displayed, which contains charge air cooler endcaps made of Envalior Akulon® Diablo HDT2500. Replacing metal end caps with high-heat-resistant plastics in charge air cooler (CAC) applications can lead to improved engine performance, better fuel efficiency and reduced system costs.
