The high end Office Seating market demands quality surface finishes as well as
durability for seat structure components. Polyamide is generally the preferred
material because it produces aesthetically acceptable parts and has the
flexibility and fatigue resistance required to pass the specified tests.
Akulon® Ultraflow™ has extremely high flow that allows injection pressures to
be reduced and injection speeds increased. This gives a much greater resin
richness on the surface, significantly improving the cosmetic appearance and
can reduce cycle times by up to 30%. As Ultraflow™ has comparable properties
to normal polyamides, seat parts can now be designed to the same performance
standards but with greater end-user appearance acceptance.
