Akulon® PA6 allows for reliable soulutions due to more temperature resistance than PP and better surface appearance than PA66; Akulon® PA6 allows for more cost effective solutions than PA66; Akulon® UltraFlow allows for even more cost effectiveness, since it enables 25% thinner walls and up to 25 % faster molding cycle times
- Pedals and Pedal Boxes 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); 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
