ULTRAMID® grades are molding compounds on the basis of PA6, PA66 and various co-polyamides such as PA66/6. The range also includes PA610 and semi-aromatic polyamides such as PA6T/6, PA6T/66, PA6T/6I and PA9T. The molding compounds are available unreinforced, reinforced with glass fibers or minerals and also reinforced with long-glass fibers for special applications. ULTRAMID® is noted for its high mechanical strength, stiffness and thermal stability. In addition, ULTRAMID® offers good toughness at low temperatures, favorable sliding friction behavior and can be processed without any problems.
