Nymax™ BIO
Bio-based Polyamide Solutions
As brand owners look for new ways to lower their
carbon footprint and bring more sustainable
products to the market, Nymax™ BIO polyamide
formulations can help.
Renewable,
plant-based raw materials, have been shown to
offer significantly lower product carbon footprint
values than typical petroleum-based feedstock.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Bio-polymers that reduce the carbon
footprint value significantly
• Achieves equivalent performance as PA66
glass fiber-filled materials
• Excellent surface appearance and colorability
• Lower warpage compared with PA66 glass
fiber-filled materials
• Cost-effective alternative to PA66 glass
fiber-filled materials
• Excellent dimensional stability and property
retention rate after water uptake
• Commercially available in Asia
APPLICATIONS
Nymax BIO formulations can be applied to reach
sustainability goals in demanding applications
including:
• Transportation • Consumer goods
• Industrial • Building and construction

The proprietary, multi-layer carbon
fiber and ceramic composite technology applies
the concept of thermal inertia to expedite heat
transfer from the barrel bore to improve overall
performance.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Barrels made with
Composite Heat
Release technology can
be lighter, heat slower,
and cool faster than
traditional steel or
carbon-wrapped
steel barrels.
