Details

Akulon® PA6 is a thermoplastic with high heat resistant properties making it a superior choice for applications such as airbag containers. With a proven track record among OEMs for more than 20 years, Akulon® PA6 allows for 40-60% weight reduction versus metal. Because no metal bolts are required, it is a safer alternative to competetive materials. Akulon® Ultraflow grades offer a 25% cycle time advantage and high flowability enabling thinner wall designs.
