Polyamide 6 & 66

The Performance Polymers division is one of the world’s leading suppliers of engineering plastics, polyamides and polyamide intermediates as well as foams and specialty plastics.

We offer our customers a broad portfolio of engineering plastics based on polyamide 6 and polyamide 6,6 (Ultramid®). This is complemented by our products Ultradur®, Ultraform® and Ultrason®. Due to their special mechanical properties and the combination of low weight with high temperature and chemical resistance, our engineering plastics are widely used in the automotive, electrical and electronics industries. They are also used in the manufacture of household and leisure goods, and increasingly for design-oriented consumer products.

For the packaging, textile and food industries, we offer polyamide polymers as important base products for the manufacturing of fibers and films. Our product range also includes Ecoflex® and Ecovio® – biodegradable specialty plastics for the packaging industry.

Features:

Ultramid® stands out for its high mechanical strength, stiffness and thermal resistance. Moreover, this polyamide exhibits good toughness at low temperatures, favorable sliding friction behavior and problem-free processing.

The Ultramid® range of polyamide resins comprises the following groups of products:

Ultramid® B	PA 6 (unreinforced) is a tough, hard material affording parts with good damping characteristics and high shock resistance even in the dry state and at low temperatures. PA 6 is distinguished by particularly high impact resistance and ease of processing.
Ultramid® A	Among the unreinforced polyamides, PA 66 along with Ultramid® T (PA6/6T) is the material with greatest hardness, rigidity, abrasion resistance and thermostability. It is one of the preferred materials for parts subject to mechanical and thermal stresses in electrical, mechanical, automotive and chemical engineering.

Grade Ultramid B3M6
