Akro-Plastic Akromid® S31 (3484) PA 6.10 Dry (discontinued **)
Categories:	Polymer; Renewable/Recycled Polymer; Thermoplastic; Nylon (Polyamide PA); Nylon 610 (PA610)
Material Notes:	A characteristic property of AKROMID® S (PA 6.10) is that it has a renewable-resource content of up to 70%. The plant-based raw material used is sebacic acid, synthesized from castor oil which is obtained from the seeds of Ricinus communis, the castor oil plant. From a technical standpoint, AKROMID® S closes the gap between PA 6/PA 6.6 and PA 12. It is characterized by significantly lower moisture absorption compared to PA 6 and PA 6.6. At 23 °C and 50% relative humidity, typical values for these product types are 3% and 2.8%, respectively. With a value of approximately 1.4%, PA 6.10 absorbs just half as much moisture and can therefore be used as an engineering material in applications requiring a high dimensional consistency. It exhibits excellent cold impact resistance. Other outstanding characteristics include very good chemical resistance due to the structure of the polymer and high hydrolysis resistance, although it can be processed like all common polyamides. The materials from the PA 6.10 product family are further characterized by exceptional dimensional stability, good surface resistance, good abrasion resistance and wear behavior, and an improved carbon footprint. This is due to the fact that the plant-based raw materials have already removed CO2 from the environment during their growth phase. The product portfolio currently comprises one non reinforced variant and several reinforced variants with a glass-fiber content ranging from 15% to 50 %. Unlike certain materials used in the packaging industry, the material is not biodegradable. Applications: Automotive Sector Connectors and housings Non-return valves Power steering-fluid reservoirs Corrugated tubing and fluid pipes Machine Construction and Tool-Building Gears Door handles and fittings Office equipment, housings, functional parts, amongst others Connectors and plugs Power tools Sports and Leisure Components in high-end garden tools Bicycle accessories Sail-boat accessories Winter sports accessories Information from Akro-Plastic
