Product Description
Ultramid® 1C - the soluble polyamide for tough, abrasion-resistant coatings and coverings with high oxygen barrier.

Ultramid® 1C is a product from the BASF polyamide line, which enjoys worldwide recognition. Subtle variation of monomer building blocks produces a copolyamide which combines the exceptional properties of Ultramid® plastics with simple processing from solution.

Applied from solution - or incorporated into components which cure or crosslink thermally, Ultramid® 1C forms flexible, scratch-resistant coatings or tough, resilient, abrasion-resistant coverings on plastics, films, nonwovens, fabrics, leather, paper, wood, or metal.

The colorless coverings provide an excellent oxygen barrier, and they can be pigmented as desired.

They are resistant to a wide variety of solvents like aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, acetone, cyclohexanone, tetrahydrofuran and ethyl acetate, and also to fuels, oils, fats, plasticizers, fruit juices, and dilute fruit acids.

The coverings or films are resistant to most commonly used solvents. How-ever, they are attacked and dissolved by alcohols, methylene chloride, concentrated mineral acids, and formic acid.
