CompaMid® PA 6.6 GK 30

Our new crosslinkable CompaMid® PA 6.6 compounds are thermoplastic polymers which behave like elastomers over a wide temperature range as a result of beta radiation cross-linking. Thanks to crosslinking, the originally thermoplastic material can withstand significantly higher temperatures of up to 400°C, thus providing greater shape retention under thermal load. Due to its excellent performance profile, crosslinkable CompaMid® PA 6.6 can replace costly high-performance plastics such as PPA, PPS or LCP in many cases. No mould changes are required when switching from standard PA 6.6 to CompaMid® PA 6.6, and the process parameters also remain the same.

Electrical Applications
Thanks to their outstanding electrical and mechanical properties, crosslinkable CompaMid ® PA 6.6 compounds are ideally suited for applications in the electrical and electronics industries.

Automotive Applications
Crosslinked components made of CompaMid ® PA 6.6 are used in the engine bay and exhaust system, where requirements are the toughest for heat resistance and shape retention, as well as resistance to salts, chemicals and corrosive media.
