EcoPaXX® Q-KXG10

Chemical Family: Polyamides

EcoPaXX® Q-KXG10 is a bio-based, high-performance polyamide (PA410) made mainly from tropical castor beans that do not compete with the food chain. It offers outstanding performance, including excellent chemical resistance, low moisture absorption, a very high melting point (highest among bio-plastics), and a high crystallization rate. Belonging to the family of long-chain polyamides, it has the lowest carbon footprint among common polyamides. This grade is processed using injection molding and features 50% glass reinforcement, designed for electrical and electronic applications with good surface properties.
