Material
Akulon® UltraFlow PA6 is a reliable solution for solarium hinges due to its good mechanical properties (stiffness and toughness) and its better surface appearance than PA66. Akulon UltraFlow PA6 allows for high productivity rates (up to 25% cycle time advantage in molding). Akulon® UltraFlow K-FG12 is 60% glass-reinforced, and had outstanding mechanical properties over a wide temperature range.}
