In some applications, the mechanical properties of the Nymax REC super tough PA 6 grade may make it a cost-effective alternative to traditional toughened PA66. The PA6 grade contains 76% PIR, and the PA66 grade contains 78% PIR content, resulting in up to 81% lower cradle-to-gate product carbon footprint (PCF) than traditional alternatives made without recycled content. Our commitment to both performance and sustainability enables us to give customers alternatives for challenging applications.”
