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 fuel line connectors. Its offers high resistance and impermeability to conventional gasoline fuel (E10) and the more sustainable E85 fuel. It outperforms current materials used in low temperature impact tests conducted at -30° C. and offers very good dimensional stability proven by short term aging at 100° C. EcoPaXX® PA410 is a sustainable solution which is 70% derived from renewable resources.
