Property levels are set relative to unfilled virgin injection-moulding PA6: tensile strength 68 MPa and tensile modulus 2640 MPa, roughly 20 % below virgin. Elongation at break and impact strength drop further — this is inherent to recycled feedstock, where reprocessing shortens the polymer chain and energy absorption suffers before stiffness does. The stated 12 % and 3.2 kJ/m² therefore reflect a realistic level rather than a conservative one.

What does not change: density, melting point 222 °C, HDT/B 187 °C, moisture uptake and processing windows. These are properties of the polymer and its matrix, and recycled feedstock does not shift them. In practice the thermal capability of the part matches virgin PA6; the limitation lies in mechanical loading.

A note on melt viscosity: recycled feedstock typically shows lower viscosity than virgin material, meaning a higher MVR. This affects machine setup — injection speed and packing should be re-optimised rather than carried over from a virgin grade. MVR is confirmed per batch.

On the comparison baseline. The values above are referenced to an unfilled nucleated injection-moulding PA6. Nucleation increases crystallinity, so such a PA6 shows a higher modulus and lower elongation than standard non-nucleated grades. For PA66 the baseline is a standard unfilled injection grade. This is why the modulus of Examid® PA6R G exceeds that of Examid® PA66R G — a property of the comparison baseline, not an advantage of PA6 over PA66 as a polymer.

Formulation is matched to the application. The figures are typical for the class; the exact specification and batch variation range are agreed per application and fixed in the technical specification.

Examid® PA6 6027/1 is an unreinforced polyamide 6 developed for injection molding of cable ties, fastening elements and flexible technical parts. The property profile is task-optimized: tensile strength of 80 MPa combined with 42% elongation (dry) — the tie holds tension without breaking at the locking head.

After conditioning the material gains elasticity: Charpy unnotched impact shows no break, critical for ties operating under vibration and dynamic loads. This is standard behavior for PA6 in the cable-tie grade class.

Processing is straightforward: melt 240–260 °C, mold 60–80 °C — stable molding of thin locking bands in multi-cavity tools. The grade is positioned as a cost-efficient alternative to imported cable-tie PA6 with a comparable property profile.

Promyde® B30 P MID is an injection molding grade of polyamide 6 (PA6) with heat stabilization and medium-level impact modification. Grade designation: B — injection grade, 30 — relative viscosity η_rel ≈ 3.0 (low, suited to molding thin-walled parts), P — process-stabilized (improved processing stability), MID — Medium Impact (an intermediate impact strength level between standard PA6 and high-impact HI grades).

It is positioned between Promyde® B33L (standard, without impact modification, high stiffness) and Promyde® B33 P2 HI (High Impact, extrusion grade). MID is the optimum choice for series-produced molded parts under medium loads, where impact resistance is required without a significant loss of stiffness or increase in cost. The low viscosity (η_rel 3.0) provides fast filling of thin-walled and complex molds.

Typical parameters: density ~1.13 g/cm³, η_rel ≈ 3.0, MFR ~25–35 g/10 min (275 °C / 5 kg — high melt flow for thin-wall molding), Charpy notched impact strength ~8–10 kJ/m² at 23 °C (ISO 179-1eA), HDT/A ~60–75 °C (1.8 MPa), Tm 220 °C. Stiffness is ~10–15 % lower than standard PA6 (a moderate trade-off for the impact modification).

Key advantages

• Balanced ratio of impact strength to stiffness — an intermediate level between standard PA6 and the HI grade, optimal for most series-produced parts under medium loads
• High melt flow (η_rel 3.0) — filling of thin-walled and complex molds without overheating, short cycle times
• Heat stabilization: resistance to degradation during repeated processing and in service at elevated temperatures (up to 90 °C dry)
• Resistance to oils, gasoline, diesel fuel, dilute alkalis and aliphatic hydrocarbons
• Easy demolding thanks to the optimized processing profile
• Can be colored with masterbatches during molding
• Compatible with standard PA6 tooling — no special processing conditions required

Applications

• Non-structural automotive components: housing parts, fasteners, decorative trim, wiring harness holders, ventilation system components, plugs
• Electrical engineering: housings for power tools and household appliances, terminal insulation elements, switch and socket housings (for flammability class V-2)
• Industrial equipment: medium-load gears and bushings, guides, conveyor rollers, technical housings

Examid® PA66 NC is an injection molding grade of polyamide 66 in natural color (NC — Natural Color, without dyes or pigments). A standard general-purpose workhorse PA66 with a hexamethylenediamine + adipic acid molecular structure. Compared with PA6 (Promyde®, the Examid® PA6 series), it offers a higher melting temperature (260 vs 220 °C), higher stiffness and strength and better heat resistance, but is more demanding to mold (a more viscous melt and a narrow processing window).

The natural color (an opalescent beige-milky shade) opens up coloring with masterbatches to any target color, including translucent and pastel shades. It is a universal engineering polyamide for series-produced molded parts under medium and high loads, especially where service at 90–120 °C is required — the range in which standard PA6 already loses stiffness.

Typical parameters: density ~1.14 g/cm³, Tm 260 °C, Tg ≈ 80 °C, HDT/A ~75–100 °C (ISO 75-2, 1.8 MPa; dry), tensile strength 80–85 MPa, tensile modulus 2.8–3.2 GPa (~20–30 % higher than PA6), elongation at break 30–50 % (dry), Charpy notched impact strength 5–6 kJ/m² at 23 °C (ISO 179-1eA), continuous service temperature 90–100 °C, water absorption ~8 % at saturation.

Key advantages vs PA6

• Tm 40 °C higher (260 vs 220 °C) — permissible service temperature of 90–100 °C continuous, up to 130 °C short-term
• Stiffness and strength 20–30 % higher at 23 °C
• Better resistance to heat ageing — critical for under-hood parts, components near the engine and in the transmission
• Better resistance to oils and greases at elevated temperatures
• Base grade for subsequent GF reinforcement (GF25/GF30/GF50) or special modifications (HI, FR, heat-stabilized)

Key advantages

• Universal injection molding grade for series-produced parts under medium and high loads
• Natural color (NC) — a base for coloring with masterbatches to brand colors, including translucent shades
• Good resistance to oils, gasoline, diesel fuel, dilute alkalis and aromatic hydrocarbons
• High abrasion resistance — suitable for medium-load gears and bushings without oil lubrication
• Good electrical insulation properties (dry)
• Semi-finished material can be reprocessed (sprues, rejected parts — regrind up to 30 %)

Limitations

• Base flammability class UL 94 HB / V-2 — not for FR applications; for V-0, consider FR-reinforced PA66 grades
• High water absorption (~8 % at saturation) — parts change dimensions and lose up to 30 % of stiffness in permanently humid environments; for moisture-resistant applications, see PA610
• Narrow molding window (Tm 260 vs Tdecomp 285 °C) — requires precise control of the screw temperature profile
• Price is usually 10–20 % higher than PA6

Applications

• Non-structural under-hood automotive components: radiator grilles and fairings, headlight and fog light covers, wiring harness holders in the engine bay, air intake components (intake manifolds for unreinforced versions — for high-performance versions, see GF30)
• Electrical and electronics: medium-duty connector housings, switches, terminal insulators, terminal box components
• Industrial hardware: medium-load bearings and bushings without lubrication, gears, guides, conveyor rollers, fasteners
• Consumer goods: zip closures (a classic PA66 application), sports equipment (exercise machine parts, tool handles), household appliance components
• Textile industry: base grade for the production of nylon fibers (apparel, carpet, airbag fabric, automotive seatbelts) — after spinneret extrusion and orientation drawing
• Household appliances: handles and switches of washing machines and dishwashers, microwave oven interior components, hair dryer and blender housings
• Construction hardware: dowels, anchors, components of facade and interior fastening systems

Examid® PA6 HI300 is an injection molding grade of polyamide 6 with enhanced impact modification and high melt flow, specifically developed for service at extremely low temperatures down to −60 °C. Designation: HI — High Impact, 300 — the lower service limit expressed in Kelvin (213 K ≈ −60 °C, rounded to the 300 K thermal window around the operating range).

It is produced by polycondensation of ε-caprolactam with the addition of an elastomeric modifier at increased concentration (typically 15–25 % EPDM-g-MA, vs 5–10 % in a standard HI grade). This ensures that impact strength at −60 °C is retained at a level comparable to that of standard PA6 at +23 °C — critical for applications in arctic conditions, military equipment and polar electronics.

Typical parameters: density ~1.06–1.09 g/cm³ (lower than standard PA6), MFR ~30–45 g/10 min (275 °C / 5 kg — very high flow for thin-wall molding and complex geometry), Charpy notched impact strength 15–20 kJ/m² at 23 °C and 8–12 kJ/m² at −40 °C (ISO 179-1eA), impact resistance at −60 °C retained at ~70 % of the 23 °C values, Tm 220 °C, continuous service temperature up to 80 °C (dry). UL 94 HB (standard).

Key advantages

• Impact strength retention at −60 °C — at 70 % of the 23 °C level; standard PA6 loses >90 % of its impact resistance in this range
• Very high melt flow (MFR 30–45) — filling of thin-walled and complex molds in a single cycle, spiral flow length 1.5–2 times greater than standard PA6
• High vibration damping capability thanks to the dispersed elastomeric phase — reduction of acoustic noise and resonant vibrations in moving mechanisms
• Resistance to oils, gasoline, diesel, glycols, seawater, dilute acids and alkalis
• High resistance to abrasion and repeated impact loading
• Good compatibility with standard PA6 masterbatches and compounds — coloring flexibility
• Stability under repeated processing (up to 30 % regrind)

Clarifications and limitations

• Continuous service temperature — up to 80 °C (dry) / 60 °C (conditioned) — typical for PA6; short-term peaks up to 150 °C are acceptable but not for continuous service (for high-temp see PA66, PA66 GF, PPA)
• Stiffness (modulus) is ~30–40 % lower than standard PA6 due to the increased elastomer phase content
• UL 94 HB (standard) — not for FR applications; for arctic FR applications — dedicated V-0 PA6 grades
• The high water absorption of PA6 is retained (~9 % at saturation) — for permanently humid arctic environments (marine atmosphere) consider PA610 HI
• “Does not release harmful substances into water” — requires confirmation by FDA / EU 10/2011 / NSF/ANSI 51 / ANSI 61 certificates for the finished product, depending on the application

Applications

• Arctic and polar equipment: parts for snowmobiles, snow blowers and rescue equipment, housing elements of equipment operating at −40…−60 °C
• Military equipment and special hardware: field equipment housings, latches and mounts for tactical gear, cold weather gear elements, body armor and helmet components
• Transport for cold regions: non-structural locomotive parts, vehicles for northern regions, train electrical housings, handles and switches for rolling stock
• Winter sports equipment and gear: ski and snowboard bindings (secondary level — for primary see PA12), protective guards, sled and hockey equipment elements
• Outdoor lighting and sensors: housings for street lights, sensors and CCTV cameras for cold climates
• Safety systems with impulse loading: clamps and housings for restraint systems in cold regions, impact absorbers, protective elements of working machinery
• Thin-wall molding with complex geometry: any serial parts where standard PA6 fails to fill the mold and a high-flow HI grade does

Examid® PA610 H120M is an injection-molding grade of polyamide 6.10 with reduced water absorption and high melt flow for injection moulding. Designation: H — high flow, 120 — melt flow indicator (MFR in the 100–120 g/10 min range at 270 °C / 5 kg), M — moulding/modified. The PA610 base molecule is ~40 % bio-based (sebacic acid from castor oil).

It is positioned between PA6 (cheaper, but with 9 % water absorption) and PA12 (more expensive, with 1.5 % water absorption) — offering ~3 % water absorption at saturation (3 times lower than PA6) at a cost only 20–40 % above PA6. The high melt flow is optimized for thin-wall molding of complex geometry — typically long flow paths and thin walls of cable ties, technical housings and guides.

It replaces the Soviet-era PA 610-L (OST 6-11-498-79) in applications where a transition to EN/ISO specifications is possible while the low-water-absorption requirement remains. It is compatible with designs developed for legacy PA610, but with modern batch quality control and property consistency.

Typical parameters: density ~1.08 g/cm³, MFR ~100–120 g/10 min, water absorption ~3 % at saturation (vs ~9 % for PA6 and ~8 % for PA66), Tm 220 °C, HDT/A ~80–95 °C (ISO 75-2, 1.8 MPa), continuous service temperature up to 100 °C, notched Charpy impact strength 5–8 kJ/m² at 23 °C (ISO 179-1eA), with 60–70 % retained at −30 °C. UL 94 HB / V-2 depending on the batch.

Key advantages

• Water absorption ~3 % (3 times lower than PA6) — dimensional and mechanical stability in humid environments, hot water and hydraulic circuits
• High melt flow (MFR ~100–120) — filling of thin-walled parts with complex geometry, long flow paths
• Bio-based origin (~40 % of the carbon from castor oil) — ESG labeling, reduced Scope 3 carbon footprint
• Good resistance to oils, gasoline, diesel fuel, glycols, automotive fluids, dilute acids and alkalis
• Fungus resistance plus resistance to UV and X-ray radiation — suitable for long-term outdoor service
• Retention of impact strength at low temperatures
• Electrical insulation properties remain stable in humid environments (PA610 offers the best property retention on moisture uptake among standard PAs)
• A reliable replacement for legacy PA610-L (OST 6-11-498-79) in series applications

Limitations

• UL 94 HB / V-2 in the standard version — not for FR-critical applications; separate PA610 FR grades are available for V-0
• PA610 is not transparent (semi-crystalline, opaque beige-milky color) — for transparent PA applications see PA12 Grilamid TR or transparent copolyamides
• Stiffness and heat resistance are lower than PA66 (modulus ~2.1 vs 2.9 GPa, HDT/A ~85 vs 100 °C) — for high stiffness see PA66
• Costs 20–40 % more than PA6 — justified only in applications where water absorption is critical

Applications

• Outdoor cable ties and sheathing: outdoor cable ties, cable clamps for photovoltaic systems, telecommunications and outdoor electrical equipment
• Household appliances with hot-water contact: structural components of washing machines and dishwashers, coffee machine components (pumps, fittings), steam generators
• Automotive under-hood components: cooling system parts, pipes, thermostat housings, intercooler components — where PA6/PA66 hydrolyzes in glycol
• Plumbing hardware: underfloor heating manifolds, hot-water fittings, valve components
• Electrical equipment in humid environments: outdoor junction boxes, controller housings, fastening components for marine applications
• Thin-wall molding: long narrow parts (guides, rails, mini-housings) — where high melt flow is critical
• Replacement of legacy PA 610-L: service and repair of equipment built to Soviet-era documentation, with a transition to modern quality control

Global equivalents: BASF Ultramid® Balance B40 LN (PA610, ~40 % bio-based), DSM EcoPaXX® Q150 (PA410, ~70 % bio-based — more heat-resistant), Arkema Rilsan® S B (PA1010), DuPont Zytel® RS LC1100 BK (PA610).

Examid® PA6 P1136 is an injection molding grade of polyamide 6 specifically optimized for series production of cable ties (zip ties, tie-wraps). Grade designation: P — process-stabilized (heat and UV stabilization for outdoor applications), 1136 — internal formulation index with a balance of ratchet tooth sliding and strap tear resistance.

A cable tie is a mass-produced item with a very specific set of requirements: reliable tooth engagement in the head with a “snap and forget” action, stable retention of the assembled bundle without slipping, resistance to impact loads during tightening, and a long service life (5–25 years) in outdoor use. P1136 balances strap stiffness and ratchet tooth elasticity — critical for reliable engagement without subsequent self-release.

Typical parameters: density ~1.13 g/cm³, MFR ~25–35 g/10 min (275 °C / 5 kg — high flow for thin-walled ties), tensile strength ~70 MPa dry (for a 3.6×140 mm tie, breaking force 180 N typical), ~50 MPa conditioned, elongation at break 50–150 % (higher when moist), Tm 220 °C, continuous service temperature −40…+85 °C. UL 94 V-2 (standard).

Key advantages

• Balanced stiffness/elasticity for cable ties — stable engagement without slipping and without ratchet tooth chipping
• UV and heat stabilization — outdoor service (open cable runs, photovoltaic systems, lighting poles, antenna mast structures) for up to 10–15 years
• Fast molding cycle — high-flow grade for mass production of ties 3–9 mm wide
• Easy demolding thanks to an internal lubricant — extends mold life in high-volume production runs
• Additional strap elasticity after moisture conditioning — plasticization of PA6 with water improves tie flexibility without loss of retention (a classic engineering technique for cable ties)
• Impact strength sufficient for tightening and carrying cable bundles
• UL 94 V-2 (self-extinguishing) — meets the basic flame retardancy requirements for electrical cable ties

Limitations

• UL 94 V-2, not V-0 — for FR-critical applications (switchboards, transformer housings) ties made of FR-PA66 or PA12 V-0 are required
• The high water absorption of PA6 (~9 %) makes conditioning of the tie before tightening necessary — in the dry state the strap may break, so performance strongly depends on storage conditions
• Not for cryogenic applications below −40 °C — for arctic ties see Examid® PA6 HI300 or PA12
• Not for chemically aggressive media (ketones, concentrated alkalis) — see PA610 or PA12 ties

Applications

• Electrical installation work: inside automation cabinets, in cable ducts, for harnessing wiring in junction boxes
• Construction and installation work: fastening cables and pipes on construction sites, temporary bundle assembly
• Automotive assembly: harnessing on-board wiring, fastening cooling system hoses and tubes, interior assembly elements
• Outdoor electrical infrastructure: photovoltaic systems (PV field cable monitoring), 4G/5G communication masts, lighting poles, overhead lines — UV-resistant ties
• Industrial assembly and packaging: securing components before shipment, temporary assembly of units on production lines
• Household use: home electrical work, cable management behind computer desks, garden and utility tasks

Global equivalents: HellermannTyton T-Series (finished ties, PA66 material), Panduit Pan-Ty® (PA66), 3M Scotchflex® (PA66), Tyton-Bossard Trio-Tie (PA66).

Examid® PA6 2320NC is an injection-molding grade of polyamide 6 in natural color (NC — Natural Color, no colorants), optimized for serial production of latches, side-release buckles, snap-fit fasteners and hardware with dynamic engagement. Designation: 2320 — internal formulation index focused on the elastic deformation of snap elements, NC — natural color.

A dedicated grade for parts whose design relies on a spring-type latching mechanism: buckle tongues, snap-fit hooks, push-button latches. The balance of stiffness (to hold the lock) and elasticity (for repeated snapping without fatigue failure) is the critical engineering parameter for serial production of such hardware.

Typical parameters: density ~1.13 g/cm³, MFR ~20–30 g/10 min (275 °C / 5 kg), yield strength 55–70 MPa (dry), tensile modulus 2.5–3.0 GPa, elongation at break 50–150 %, Charpy notched impact strength 4–6 kJ/m² at 23 °C, Tm 220 °C, continuous service temperature −30…+80 °C. UL 94 V-2 (standard). Natural color — a base for masterbatch coloring.

Key advantages

• Balanced resilience for snap-fit designs — 1000+ engage/release cycles without fatigue failure of the tongue
• High locking strength — parts withstand operational holding loads without slipping or self-release
• Natural color (NC) — a base for masterbatch coloring to brand colors (black, white, colored)
• Resistance to oils, gasoline, diesel and dilute alkalis
• Impact resistance during fastening and service
• Standard UL 94 V-2 — meets hardware flammability requirements in most household and automotive applications
• Compatible with standard PA6 tooling — low retooling cost

Limitations

• UL 94 V-2 — not for FR-critical electrical hardware (for V-0, see dedicated PA6 FR / PA66 FR grades)
• The high water absorption of PA6 (~9 %) — parts change dimensions in high-humidity environments; verify critical snap-fit joints for geometric deviations under service conditions
• Continuous service at temperatures above 80 °C is not recommended — for high-temperature hardware see PA66 2320 or Examid® PA66 NC

Applications

• Household appliances: lid latches for washing machines and dishwashers, refrigerator door hinges, push-button latches of household appliances, dust-container buckles of vacuum cleaners

Promyde® B30 P BL01 is an injection molding grade of polyamide 6 (PA6) in standard black color with heat and UV stabilization and an internal lubricant. Grade designation: B — injection grade, 30 — relative viscosity η_rel ≈ 3.0 (low, for fast filling of thin-walled parts), P — process-stabilized, BL01 — Black 01 (standard carbon-black-based colorant, UL certified).

A dedicated grade for series-produced molded parts operating outdoors or under direct sunlight. The black color based on highly dispersed carbon black provides additional UV protection (absorption of UV light by the surface layer) — critical for outdoor applications, where unmodified PA6 degrades within 6–12 months. The combination of a UV stabilizer and an absorbing pigment extends the service life of the finished part to 5–10 years of outdoor use.

Typical parameters: density ~1.13 g/cm³, η_rel ≈ 3.0, MFR ~25–35 g/10 min (275 °C / 5 kg), HDT/A ~60–75 °C (1.8 MPa), Tm 220 °C. Base flammability rating UL 94 V-2 (standard for PA6, self-extinguishing with possible dripping). Color stability — minimal whitening and haze after 1000+ hours of QUV testing (ISO 4892-3).

Key advantages

• Dual UV protection: UV stabilizer (HALS/UVA) + carbon black pigment as a surface absorber — outdoor service life of up to 5–10 years in temperate latitudes
• Heat stabilization: property retention during repeated processing (up to 30 % regrind) and when the part operates at elevated temperature
• Ready-made UL-certified black color — no masterbatch addition required, guaranteed color uniformity of the batch
• Internal lubricant — easier demolding, longer tooling life, shorter cycle time
• High melt flow for thin-walled and complex molded shapes
• Resistance to oils, gasoline, diesel, dilute alkalis, aliphatic hydrocarbons
• Base UL 94 V-2 rating (self-extinguishing)

Limitations

• UL 94 V-2, not V-0 — allows drips of burning material; for FR-critical electrical applications (V-0 / 5VA) consider dedicated FR grades of PA6
• High water absorption of PA6 (~9 % at saturation) — the part changes dimensions and loses up to 30 % of its stiffness in permanently humid environments; for marine and tropical conditions consider PA610 or PA12
• Black color only (BL01) — not for applications with color branding requirements other than black

Applications

• Outdoor fasteners and cable accessories: cable ties for outdoor use, harness holders, cable clamps for solar panels and outdoor electrical equipment
• Automotive exterior non-structural parts: exterior trim clips and fasteners, mud flap holders, exterior bumper trim elements, hatch covers
• Garden and park equipment: housing parts of lawn mowers, trimmers, blowers; handles and pads of garden tools
• Street lighting and controllers: traffic light housings, park lantern elements, outdoor junction boxes (non-FR-critical)
• Marine non-critical: cable ducts and mounts for yacht equipment, awning fastening elements
• Outdoor construction elements: facade system fasteners, ventilated facade elements, dowels for exterior finishing
• Outdoor sports equipment: handles and pads of outdoor exercise machines, protective edging, housings of e-scooter charging stations
