Roof Racks Application Data: Akulon® PA6 allows for light weight solutions as compared to metal; Akulon® PA6 allows for reliable solutions due to high weldline performance and temperature resistance (better than PP) and to its great surface appearance (better than PA66) and UV resistance (in case of L-stabilized grades); Akulon® PA6 allows for cost effective solutions as compared to PA66; Akulon® Ultraflow grades allow even for more cost effectiveness due to 25% cycle time advantage and due to high flowability enabling thinner walled designs
Composite Materials Functions: Resins Binders & Matrix Materials
Composites Processing Methods: Injection Molding
Grill Handles Application Data: Akulon® PA6 allows for light weight, cost effective solutions in comparison with metals (no corrosion protection coating needed with PA6); Akulon® (UltraFlow) PA6 allows for great appearance solutions, since it yields a better surface appearance than PA66 and PPA (even at 50-60%GF); Akulon® UltraFlow PA6 allows for even more cost effective solutions, since it yields faster molding than standard PA6 and enables thinner wall designs
Plastics and Elastomers End Uses: Cookware Handles
Door Panel
Flooring
Roof Racks
Wheel Housing Parts
