Did you know that with the right formulation, you can achieve properties that are as good or better than that of PA 6,6 using materials such as PA 6, PK, PBT/PET, PP, polymer blends and even post-industrial recycled blends?
PA 6,6 Lower short- and long-term thermal performance Harder to color More limited process window PBT/PET | POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS: Electrical & Electronics BENEFITS VS.
PA 6,6 Lower water absorption Better dimensional stability Slightly higher rigidity/stiffness (for PBT) Better abrasion resistance Slightly better electric resistance DRAWBACKS VS.

Can you melt TPEs?
If we’re being nuanced, thermoplastic elastomers don’t technically melt.
This ability to flow freely in a near-melted state is an important property because it allows TPEs to be molded into any shape you want.
