TEPEX®
xx2: polyamide 6 with a very good price/performance ratio and is available
in transparent and black. The forming temperature is approx. 240°C-260°C.
Applications are mainly found in the sport industry, automotive industry
and miscellaneous industrial products. Continuous operating temperature
is 120°C. Polyamide 6 has a good chemical resistance against oils and
light acids. The material is often applied in the automotive industry.
TEPEX®
xx1: polyamide 66 with very good price/performance ratio. Available in transparent
and black. The forming temperature is approx. 280°C-300°C. Applications
are mainly found in the sport industry, automotive industry and miscellaneous
industrial products. The continuous operating temperature is at 130°C
slightly higher than for PA6. Polyamide 6 has a good chemical resistance
against oils and light acids.
Uni-directional 80:20 reinforcement
suited for structural parts. Ideal
automotive material, in case a higher
temperature resistance than that of PA6 is needed.
TEPEX®
xx6: polyamide 12. Available in transparent and black. Forming temperature
approx. 190°C-220°C. Applications in the sport industry as well
as industrial products. Continuous use temperature around 90°C. PA12
is especially suited if a good surface quality from the mould is needed.
Therefore the material is used mostly in combination with carbon and aluminised
fabrics.
