ALTECH® PA6 A 1000/318 IM
- Chemical Family
- Polyamides
MOCOM Compounds ALTECH® PA6 A 1000/318 IM is a special injection molding grade of Polyamide 6 with impact modified, easy release (demolding) and heat stabilized properties. It is typically used in the automotive and machinery markets for the production of housings and functional components. Pre-drying conditions should be done at 80°C in a dry air (dessiccant) dryer for 2-12 h, depending on moisture content, with a maximum moisture content of less than 0.15%. Processing injection molding should be done at a melt temperature of 250-270°C and a mold temperature of 40-80°C.
