COLOMBES CEDEX, France -- Arkema and Toyobo have decided to form a strategic partnership to develop high-temperature polyamides made from renewable resources. Under this collaboration, Arkema and Toyobo will promote a new generation of high-temperature polyamides, with improved technical properties and lower environmental footprint.
The new products initially consist of two ranges with melting points around 250°C and 315°C, with a very low moisture pick up and a biobased content up to 70%. Their unique properties make them particularly suitable for highly technical metal replacement applications in consumer electronics and automotive applications, when high-temperature resistance and dimensional stability are requested and where plastics could not be used before.
Arkema recently launched Rilsan® HT, a flexible HTPA to replace metal and save costs in highly technical automotive applications.
