Details

EcoPaXX® PA410 is a high-performance aliphatic, biobased polyamide that uniquely balances the benefits of typical short and long chain polyamides, such as low moisture uptake and high mechanical performance making it ideal for applications such as engine covers that are located close to turbo charged components. It offers high temperature resistance, which performs better than PA6, as well as its great surface appearance and low warpage levels. EcoPaXX® PA410 is a more sustainable solution due to its excellent carbon footprint, which is 70% biobased as compared to PA6 and PA66.
