Ultramid® A3WG6 HRX - Improved Hydrolysis Resistance
|
BASF has added two new hydrolysis-resistant polyamides (PA 66) to its product range. These plastic grades are called Ultramid® A3WG6 HRX and A3WG7 HRX and are reinforced with 30% and 35% glass fibers, respectively. The products were developed for applications in the coolant circuit of vehicles. They are capable of passing the latest, more stringent long-term hydrolysis tests demanded by vehicle manufacturers. |
Ultramid® A3L HP - High Flow PA 66
|
Engineered to meet the needs of a market demanding a higher flowing product, Ultramid A3L HP (High Productivity) is an unfilled, impact modified, high flow, PA 66 material perfectly suited for a variety of injection molding needs. Possessing a 30-50% flow improvement over the previous medium impact modified Ultramid® polyamide 66 grades, Ultramid® A3L HP also provides uncompromising performance characteristics such as improved notched izod impact, superior weld strength and outstanding surface appearance. Such characteristics are critical in applications such as fasteners and clips, straps, clamps and cables in the industrial, automotive, electrical/electronic, and sports/recreational sectors. |
Carbon Fibers+Ultrason® E = two Partners with Outstanding Properties
|
Ultrason® E2010 C6 (Polyethersulfone with 30% carbon fibers) The combination of carbon fibers with amorphous Ultrason® E gives extraordinary mechanical properties up to 200°C. Potential applications include:
Excellent properties from -100°C to +200°C:
