PA6 & PA66 - Akulon®
Akulon polyamide 6 & 66 resins represent the best value in all-purpose engineering materials, offering an excellent balance of design and processing with outstanding mechanical properties in diverse operating environments.
Furniture design is no longer just about durability, ergonomics and attractiveness. Sustainability has now become a growing consideration. We work with our customers to develop Cradle to Cradle designs that are friendlier to the environment, with a lower carbon footprint.
Our plastic materials do more than add strength and beauty to furniture. We focus on delivering materials with a low or neutral carbon footprint, eliminating hazardous substances and supporting recycling. Our ultimate goal is to achieve closed-loop, Cradle to Cradle solutions.
DSM works with numerous leading furniture companies to promote sustainable designs that meet consumers’ growing demand for products that are better for the environment.
Designed for office chair arms, seats, backs and bases, our Akulon K224-G6 grade provides strength, high-impact resistance and excellent processing for injection molding.
DSM's Cradle to Cradle (C2C) activities are directly targeted at the growing interest in recycling and the ultimate goal of closed loop systems.
