Product Description
Unreinforced polyamide 66, high fluidity, heat stabilized, fast cycling grade, for injection moulding.

TECHNYL® A 208K offers the following advantages:
  • excellent filling qualities,
  • good ductility at low temperature,
  • good resistance to high temperature required for under bonnet automotive parts,
  • and is V2 rated under 0.8 mm according to UL94.
It is particularly suitable for the moulding of long parts with thin wall sections requiring clips and live hinges, such as :
  • cable ties and fasteners,
  • connectors,
  • fasteners.
