As vehicle electrification advances, hybrid vehicles will continue to play an important role as manufacturers seek to reduce CO2 emissions. The Akulon® Fuel Lock family of PA6 materials offers a proven low-permeation material solution for hybrid vehicle fuel tanks. It offers superior barrier performance and strength vs. materials such as HDPE. In addition, it is formulated for easy monolayer processing to reduce costs and increase cycle time efficiency.
Akulon® is our family of high performance polyamide 6 and polyamide 66 materials, used by customers across the world in applications ranging from automotive, electronics & electrical, to furniture and packaging.
We offer Akulon® grades for injection molding, blow molding and extrusion (including barrier film, stock shapes, convoluted tubes, and mono and multi filament).
In molded parts the material offers an excellent balance of easy design and processing with outstanding mechanical properties over a wide temperature range and in diverse conditions. Meanwhile for extrusion the strength, resilience and easy processing of Akulon® sets the market standards.

Fuel tanks are the perfect components to lightweight, but this opportunity does come with its challenges. Lightweighting applications designed for ICE vehicles must help the entire vehicle meet the emission norms and fuel efficiency requirements, while applications for hybrid vehicles need to extend the driving range of the vehicle.
Fuel tank evaporative emissions are a growing challenge for small engine manufacturers. In this 30-minute webinar, the changing regulatory environment and advanced material solutions are discussed.
Manufacturing gas-powered OPE that complies with environmental regulations is a challenge due to evaporative fuel emissions permeating through plastic fuel tanks. DSM’s Akulon® Fuel Lock provides an evaporative emissions barrier more than six times stronger than the regulations require, minimizing any risk of non-compliance.
