A lineup of various fillers according to the base polymer.
Durethan is the trademark for our engineering thermoplastic series based on polyamide 6 and polyamide 66. These polyamides are partially crystalline thermoplastics that offer an ideal combination of properties, particularly for technical applications. They feature high mechanical strength and rigidity, good dielectric properties, high resistance to thermal and chemical attacks, and excellent friction and wear characteristics.
