ALTECH® PA6 A 1000/518 IM
- Chemical Family
- Polyamides
MOCOM Compounds ALTECH® PA6 A 1000/518 IM is a Polyamide 6 impact modified base polymer designed for easy release (demolding). Pre-drying 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 0.15%. It is suitable for automotive, machinery, and injection molded parts applications. The processing injection molding melt temperature should be between 250-270°C and the mold temperature should be between 40-80°C.
