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.
We offer you a unique combination of materials, design, application development and general technical support, from production inception to the industrialization stage across the full spectrum of Power Distribution (PD) applications. Our solutions are proven and based on the nuances and regulatory demands of the many local markets we serve around the world (from UL/NEMA to IEC/EN).
We’re fully backwards integrated in every major market we serve – which for our customers equates to better time-to-market at optimum cost and efficiency. This is coupled with a comprehensive service offering: From material selection and design specification to rheological, mechanical and thermal CAE, to building and testing the molds to extensive after-sales support.
So, what can we do for you today?
In the electrical market the use of MCCBs is increasing due to the growing need of energy conservation. MCCB producers have 3 needs: safety, performance and cost effectiveness. We offer a full portfolio of materials that can replace thermosets in demanding molded-case circuit breakers (MCCBs) with open arc extinguishing chambers. We have solutions for all the separate housing components, as well as for the functional internal parts in the arc extinguishing chamber of the circuit breaker, resulting in a 100% safe and cost-effective solution.
