High-viscosity extrusion polyamide PA6 Durethan B40 FAM
Description
A highly elastic, high-viscosity polyamide (PA 6) with internal lubrication. It offers high mechanical strength, good electrical-insulating properties, excellent sliding properties and high rigidity. Suitable for processing by extrusion.
Key characteristics of Polyamide 6 Durethan B40 FAM include:
- high viscosity
- increased ductility
- low coefficient of friction
- withstands long-term dynamic loads
- good processability
- provides high resistance to wear, abrasion, impact and fracture
- reduces noise and vibration
- high resistance to chemicals
Applications
Films, multilayer films, monofilaments and trimmer lines for lawn care. Recommended for blown films, the inner polyamide layer of PE-PA-PE co-extruded structures, and sausage casings produced by the 'double bubble' technology. Complies with REACH (EU Regulation No. 1907/2006) and FDA Regulation 21 CFR 177.
