Details

Akulon® PA6 is a thermoplastic with high heat resistant properties making it an ideal choice for applications such as fans and shrouds due to its low warpage levels and high temperature resistance, which performs better than PP. Its excellent surface appearance surpasses PA66. Akulon® Ultraflow grades allow for more cost effectiveness due to 25% cycle time advantage and high flowability enabling thinner wall designs.
