These properties
offer manufacturers a high-performing, cost-
competitive, and more eco-conscious alternative
to nylons.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Excellent chemical resistance
• Low moisture uptake
• Comparable dimensional stability to nylon
• Reinforced with 10–40% short glass fiber
• High impact and wear resistance
• Cost competitive
• Eco-conscious alternative to PA66 and PA6
• Non-halogen, flame retardant performance
MARKETS & APPLICATIONS
These glass-reinforced materials meet the
challenges found in chemical, fuel contact, and
high moisture environments
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2021-03/lubrione-pke-product-bulletin.pdf
These characteristics offer
manufacturers a high-performing, cost-effective and
more eco-conscious alternative to nylon (PA66 and
PA6) and acetal (POM).
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).
