Details

Akulon® PA6 is a thermoplastic with high heat resistant properties making it an ideal choice for applications such as rocker valve covers. Akulon® PA6 offers 40-60% weight reduction, better NVH performance, and the possibility of function integration versus metal. Akulon® Ultraflow grades allow more cost effectiveness due to 25% cycle time advantage and high flowability enabling thinner wall designs.
