Applications
Air inlet manifolds
Industry
Automotive
Material
- •} Lowest carbon footprint of PA6 available on the market
- •} Yields faster moulding than standard PA6
- •} Enables thinner wall designs.
Charge Air Cooler Caps
Industry
Automotive
Material
- •} Long term heat resistant
- •} Lightweight

- •} Fatigue resistant
Cylinder head cover for 2-wheelers
Industry
Transportation
Material
The Cylinder head cover has to seal the engine oil and air between the engine room and cylinder head. However, in the case of a 2wheel, they are often connected by 2 to 4 bolts where a rubber gasket is used. The rubber gasket has a high reaction force so flange of the cylinder head often leaks out between the cylinder head and the head cover.}
EV Charging Plugs
Industry
Automotive
Material
Envalior’s portfolio of Akulon® PA6 and Arnite® PBT solutions for electric vehicle charging plugs can offer better surface appearance and mechanical performance without the need for expensive flame retardant additives. As electrical vehicle (EV) sales around the world continue to grow, Envalior is partnering with automakers and suppliers to develop advanced materials solutions to improve EV charging.}
