Akulonは高性能ポリアミド6とポリアミド66素材の製品群です。自動車、エレクトロニクス、電気から家具やパッケージングまで、幅広いアプリケーションで世界中のお客様に使用されています。私たちは射出成形、ブロー成形、押出成形用に異なる等級のAkulonを提供しています（バリアフィルム、素材形状、コルゲートチューブ、モノおよびマルチフィラメントなど）。
成形部品では、多用な条件における広い温度範囲にわたる卓越した機械的特性によって、容易なデザインと加工の素晴らしいバランスを提供します。一方押出成形では、その強度、弾性、そして加工の容易さによってAkulonは市場標準となっています。
優れた外観を備えつつ、フローを向上しサイクル時間を短縮する方法を模索しているメーカーにおいて、Akulon Ultraflowへの関心が高まっています。加工が容易なポリアミド6は、フローを80％向上し射出成形サイクル時間を40％短縮します。標準的なポリアミド6等級に比べ、機械的特性への有意な影響はありません。
今日、Akulon Ultraflowは、エンジンカバー、吸気マニホールド、自動車のエクステリアミラーシェル、家具、電動工具などの要求の厳しい多くのアプリケーションに使用されています。Akulon Ultraflowの高速フローをさらにバックアップする特長は、サイクルの時間的早さだけでなく、システムコストの削減です。
Akulon Diabloは、Envaliorの高耐熱性ポリアミド6/66で、最大220℃までのボンネット内アプリケーションで金属から樹脂に置きえるのに理想的です。Akulon Diabloは、より小型・高温のターボエンジン内で絶えず変化する温度に挑むお客さまを支援するため、開発されました。最新グレードのAkulon Diablo HDT2500は、最大220℃の温度環境下で3,000時間におよぶ連続使用を可能にし、HDT値を格段に向上させます。
AkulonDiabloは、給気冷却装置のエンドキャップから吸気マニホールド、吸気ダクト、ターボ排気リゾネーター、エンジンカバーにいたるまで、吸気システムのコンポーネントを金属からプラスチックへ置き換えるのに最適です。軽量であるため、熱量消費、そして結果的に炭素排出量も削減でき、人と環境にやさしいだけでなく利益面での利点にもなります。
Akulon Fuel Lockは、従来のポリアミド6（PA6）に比べ、燃料バリア特性と衝撃強度が格段に向上しました。この素材によるソリューションは、フッ素化HDPEのソリューションに比べ、より信頼とコスト効果が高く、経時的なバリア性能の低下もありません。また全体的な性能は、アセタール（POM）とPA6をベースとしたナノ複合材料や混合物などの競合素材の性能を上回っています。全体的なコストは、フッ素化HDPEおよび多層タンクを下回ります。

From superior impact strength and high heat resistance to excellent flame retardancy, Akulon delivers properties that help you produce greener, lighter and smarter products. Individual grades can vary by region, so please check in the product database for more detailed information and availability in your area. Our standard offering consist of:
Our Akulon portfolio covers virtually all possible applications with grades suited to all processing techniques, including extrusion, injection and blow molding. Akulon polyamide 6 & 66 resins represent the best value in all-purpose engineering materials. For molded parts, they offer an an excellent balance of easy design and processing with outstanding mechanical properties over a wide temperature range and in diverse operating environments.
Akulon polymer grades are available for all main extrusion processes and applications.
Akulon is ideal for injection molding thanks to its unique combination of short- and long-term low and high temperature properties under various chemical conditions.
Temperature considerations
Akulon has a continuous-use temperature of up to 185ºC. In fact, the chart below shows that polyamide 6 delivers better long-term performance at high temperatures than polyamide 66 and should be the preferred material for any application running for extended periods above 150ºC.
With superior end-of-life properties of up to 60%, polyamide 6 can be used at the design stage, either to reduce the amount of material needed, or by extending durability or part life guarantees.
Short-term temperature spikes
Polyamide 66 is preferred where temperatures spike at above 215ºC (the HDT of glass reinforced polyamide 6) but less than 250ºC. For even higher temperatures, a material like our super heat-resistant Stanyl polyamide 46 is ideal, for example, in part fabrication where secondary processing under high temperatures happens, such as soldering in electrical applications.
Hydrolysis critical environments
In hot water environments of 100ºC+ polyamides can suffer from hydrolysis – especially when glycol (as an anti-freeze additive) is found (the rate being determined by the amount of water absorbed). Because polyamide 66 absorbs less than polyamide 6, its performance is slightly better. However, for reinforced materials, higher fill levels in polyamide 6 mean grades that deliver the same performance as a polyamide 66, with a lower level of reinforcement. This offers benefits in terms of stiffness, but disadvantages in terms of part weight and design flexibility.
Low temperatures
Polyamide 6 has better ductility than polyamide 66. At lower temperatures this makes it a tougher material – less impact sensitive, less notch sensitive and with ductile behavior at lower temperatures. The result: Safer parts (less risk of splintering at low temperatures) and lower breakage levels during processing because parts are tougher coming out of the mold. For unmodified grades where lower temperatures are found, polyamide 6 provides the better performance. Typical applications for this low temperature performance are power tools, ski and snowboard bindings, and automotive exterior parts.
Thermal properties
Akulon performs over a wide temperature range. Unfilled and reinforced materials can be used for demanding engineering applications from as low as -40°C (-40°F) to just below the melting point of the polymer: 220°C (428°F) in the case of polyamide 6 and 260°C (500°F) for polyamide 66.
The high crystallinity and melting point of Akulon enables these materials to retain stiffness at elevated temperatures. For critical applications, this ensures better safety margins and enables thinner walls compared to other materials.
When it comes to measuring properties after aging, this is best performed under real conditions in the application itself. For automotive applications where peak temperatures remain under 180°C (356°F), polyamide 6 provides better heat aging resistance and improved security and durability compared to polyamide 66.
Akulon has a full portfolio that provides excellent long- and short-term mechanical properties.
For high mechanical strength Akulon has 50 and 60% glass filled grades in the portfolio. These are suitable for metal replacement where high strength and fatigue are key.
Akulon has excellent electrical properties and conforms to all global standards.
The Akulon product line provides a full range of flame-retardant grades
The Akulon portfolio contains both unfilled as well as glass or mineral filled grades, including a halogen free flame retardant portfolio.

At Envalior, our strategy includes developing innovative solutions and collaborations that contribute to a circular economy and aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals addressing climate change, resource scarcity, waste and pollution. We look beyond society’s current model of take-make-dispose and instead try to mimic nature and the circle of life.
Envalior uses discarded fishing nets as the source to produce the recycle-based polyamide AkulonRepurposed. We use the material recovered from discarded fishing nets collected along the coastlines of India, which are treated and upcycled using local labor, before being compounded.
