Engine Covers Application Data

Akulon® PA6 allows for reliable solutions due to high temperature resistance (better than PP), great surface appearance (better than PA66) and low warpage levels. Akulon® Ultraflow grades allow even for more cost effectiveness due to 25% cycle time advantage and due to high flowability enabling thinner walled designs
