Material
Akulon® PA6 is a reliable solution for grill handles compared to metals as no corrosion protection coating is needed with PA6. Akulon UltraFlow PA6 yields a better surface appearance than PA66 (even at 50% to 60% GF). Akulon L types of PA6 yield good UV-resistance. Akulon UltraFlow PA6 enables thin-walled designs.}
