Xenia Launches 50% CF Reinforced Bio based PA 10.10 Grade

This new carbon-fiber reinforced material, based on PA10.10, delivers exceptional strength and durability while being 100% bio-based.

This new material not only represents a step forward in performance but also aligns with Xenia®’s commitment to sustainability.

Suitable for High Temperature Applications:

With up to 50% carbon fiber reinforcement, XECARB® 31 ensures increased stiffness, making it ideal for structural applications that demand superior mechanical strength.

Furthermore, this new compound is well-suited for environments that require higher operating temperatures without compromising performance, thanks to its high melting point.

The PA10.10 base polymer ensures significantly reduced moisture absorption, improving long-term durability. Its excellent cold impact resistance makes it suitable for applications frequently exposed to low temperatures, such as outdoor environments and high-altitude settings. The combination of lightweight construction and rigidity makes the XECARB® 31 optimal for high-performance sports equipment. This material enhances product durability without adding unnecessary weight, making it ideal for competitive sports where performance is crucial.

In the industrial sector, chemical resistance and mechanical stability are key advantages for parts exposed to harsh working conditions. This includes applications where the material’s ability to withstand heat, oil, and grease ensures longevity and reliable performance.

Sourced from Castor Oil:

As a bio-based material sourced from castor oil, the PA10.10 significantly reduces dependence on fossil fuels, addressing the growing demand for eco-friendly solutions.

This new compound promotes a more circular and environmentally conscious approach to manufacturing, offering high performance without compromising on sustainability.
