DSM ENGINEERING PLASTICS LAUNCHES 5 NEW GRADES OF ITS BIO-BASED ECOPAXX RESIN

The introduction of EcoPaXX™ fits perfectly in DSM’s strategy, in which sustainability and innovation are key elements. Besides EcoPaXX, DSM has other green products in its portfolio, including Arnitel® Eco, a green polyester elastomer, and Palapreg® ECO, a bio-based duroplast. (Photos: DSM Engineering Plastics: DSMPR288)Last year DSM Engineering Plastics introduced EcoPaXX™, a bio-based, high performance engineering plastic. EcoPaXX is a polyamide (PA) 410, and belongs to the family of the “long-chain polyamides”. It pairs typical long-chain polyamide properties, such as low moisture absorption and excellent chemical resistance, with high melting point (highest of all bio-based polyamides: ca. 250oC, see graph: melting point of bio-based polyamides as function of amide bond density) and high crystallization rate (typical for engineering plastics such as Akulon PA66 and Stanyl PA 46). It combines the best of both worlds and is therefore suitable for many high-tech applications.
