Ultramid 8202 HS BASF Polyamide 6

Product Description

Ultramid 8202 HS is a heat stabilized, low viscosity, general purpose PA6 injection molding. It possesses the combination of strength and toughness and has excellent chemical and abrasion resistance. The heat stabilizer system extends the retention of properties at the more elevated temperatures. Excellent in filling thin walls or areas.
