plastic PA9T

PLUX-PA9T

PA9T is a heat-resistant polyamide derived from terephthalic acid and nonanediamine, which has developed a new and innovative technology to produce. PA9T has a superior balance of properties, including low water absorption, high chemical resistance, and excellent resistance to abrasion, in addition to heat-resistance, and is praised as “a new material with high functions”, compared with other existing high-temperature engineering plastics like PA6T (heat-resistant polyamide), PPS (polyphenylene sulfide), and LCP (liquidcrystal polyesters).

Characteristics of PA9T

- The water absorbency of PA9T is the lowest among high heat resistant polyamides.

- PA9T has superior heat resistance (blister resistance) and corresponds well to lead-free solder.

- PA9T keeps its superior mechanical properties at higher temperatures.

- Due to its low water absorption, PA9T has a superior dimensional stability.

- Compared to other heat resistant polyamides, the electric properties of PA9T are stable for its

low water absorbency.

- PA9T has superior chemical resistance in the class of heat resistant polyamides.

- PA9T also shows superior abrasion resistance, as do other polyamides as a typical property.

- The regrind of PA9T can be taken at 30-50% percentage with new virgin.

Applications

Electronic parts which require heat-resistance and dimensional stability Mainly SMT (surface-mounting technology) connectors, switches, relays, parts for threedimensional circuits, bobbins, etc., for personal computers and portable communication devices such as cellular phones.

Automobile parts which require heat- and chemical-resistance (in particular engine-related parts)

We are investigating possible applications for main engine parts, engine ventilation parts, and engine cooling parts.
