KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Inherently low COF
• Excellent wear resistance
• Excellent chemical resistance
• Low moisture uptake
• Excellent dimensional stability
• Cost-effective
• Eco-conscious alternative to PA66,
PA6 and POM
MARKETS & APPLICATIONS
These materials are ideal for use in applications
requiring lubricated solutions, as the formulations
have improved wear, chemical, and hydrolysis
resistance over nylons (PA6 or PA66).
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Fabric FX can be formulated to include properties
such as UV color protection and anti-scratch
performance
• Fabric FX can be processed on standard molding
machinery
• Different matrix materials can be enhanced with
Fabric FX, including ABS, PC/ABS, PB, and unfilled
or talc-filled PP
• There is no limitation on the graining that can be
used; the fabric effect will differ depending on the
grain effect engraved in the tool
• If parts are extruded or a mold is not engraved,
final parts will have an attractive speckled
appearance, but will not be textured
TYPICAL USES
Fabric FX concentrates are suitable for any application
that could benefit from an enhanced textile-like
appearance.

Because the trays were regularly handled by consumers
and filled with food, it was very important that any
changes made to the material would not jeopardize the
packaging’s FDA compliance.
The sheet producer began experimenting with material
changes in-house, but struggled to achieve consistency
of release.

Plus, with an opaque natural color, reSound BIO
materials offer excellent colorability, making them
ideal for applications such as cosmetics packaging,
personal care products, household appliances, and
consumer electronics.
