Product Description
TECHNYL® ALLOY KC 246 is an unfilled impact modified PA6/ABS blend for injection moulding. It is a synergistic blend material between Polyamide 6 and ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) with an ideal property combination, meaning that it has dual characteristics between semi-crystalline and amorphous polymers.

TECHNYL® ALLOY KC 246 offers an excellent impact with an ideal combination between stiffness and toughness make it suitable for:
  • Both painting (off-line) and non-painting with grain applications for Automotive and motorcycle.
  • Sports and leisure parts, furniture, toys.
  • Housings appliance.
