BASF Ultramid® BU50I BK 106 PA6 (Dry)
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Nylon (Polyamide PA); Nylon 6 (PA6); Nylon 6, Unreinforced

Material Notes: Description: Ultramid Ultratough Nylon BU50I BK-106 is an unreinforced PA6, impact modified, pigmented black, injection molding product that maintains its impact strength and ductility to -40 deg F (-40 deg C). The extreme low temperature tolerance of Ultramid BU50I BK106 makes it ideal for applications in which the weld line impact strength at low temperatures is critical.

Applications: Automotive components, small engines, power tool parts and casings, cold weather and high impact sports gear, such as snowboards, ski components, helmets and hockey masks.
