GEHR PA® 6.10 (ECO)

Chemical Family: Polyamides

GEHR PA® 6.10 (ECO) is a semi-crystalline material obtained from the oil of the castor seed. The proportion of renewable raw materials here is over 60 %. The water absorption of PA 6.10 is lower than that of the related and oil-based PA 6, which results in increased dimensional stability.
