Impact-modified polyamides

Impact-modified, cold-resistant and resilient polyamides. Operability of a part at low temperatures, for example during the winter in a continental climate zone, calls for a polymer that does not critically lose its properties at -40 °C, -60 °C. Cold-resistant Material Wizard polyamides deliver safety and reliability where other polymers fail instantly. This problem is solved by choosing high-performance polyamide grades whose service range extends down to extremely low temperatures. Using cheaper special modified polyamides is economically sound. The notched Izod impact strength of impact-modified polyamides at low temperatures can exceed that of the base material by tens of times. Flexibility and strength at a low price In a number of cases, even at normal temperature a standard polyamide may have a low Charpy impact strength, which will affect the brittleness of the part. In such cases Material Wizard offers the cost-effective polyamide Examid 6/66-E, which has substantially higher elasticity than base PA 6 grades. The use of impact-modified polymers reduces costs during storage, assembly and transport. When designing parts and selecting a plastic, we recommend ensuring that the material properties match the operating and transport temperatures. Even if the part is used at room temperature, for example office furniture, pre-sale movement of the goods and warehouse storage may take place at sub-zero temperatures and cause increased brittleness of the part and a higher reject rate. Use reliable polyamides that offer high physical and mechanical properties at low temperatures and guarantee a high safety factor.
