Customer case
Akulon polyamide 6: The perfect package
Our Akulon® polyamide 6 is used extensively for film extrusion in food, medical and industrial packaging thanks to its compelling blend of properties.
Akulon is fast becoming the material of choice for film formulators looking for an excellent barrier material that extends the shelf life of packaged food – and thus avoids the environmental and financial cost of food waste.
A scientific approach to building solutions
Our dedicated teams work closely with customers to look at the entire process of developing new parts and components – whether it is a case of metal replacement, or developing solutions that are stronger, safer and more effective.
Our methodical approach extends to every step of the process, from design and material performance to production and compliance.
-
Performance
To ensure safety and part integrity, our high-performance plastics need to meet all of the relevant requirements for each application.
-
Production
Improving on a part includes improving how it is produced. Whether we are helping you improve the production process itself, or reducing and eliminating secondary operations, we support you through the entire process.
-
Compliance
Getting a part ready for commercialization includes ensuring compliance with the relevant regulations.
