Details
Akulon® PA6 is a thermoplastic with high heat resistant properties making it an ideal choice for applications such as oil sumps and pans, providing superior price and performance over a wide range of competetive materials, including steel, aluminum, PA66, and metal-elastomer laminates. Akulon® PA6 allows for up to 60% weight reduction and better NVH performance versus metal. Due to the possibility of function integration, Akulon® PA6 is a cost-effective solution. Akulon® Ultraflow grades offer a 25% cycle time advantage and high flowability enabling thinner wall designs. The high crystallinity and melting point of Akulon® materials ensures stiffness retention at elevated temperatures making it ideal for critical applications.
