- Electrical and electronic parts
Connectors, jacks, camera modules, switches, LED reflectors, etc. - Automotive electronics parts
Connectors, relays, insulators, wire harnesses, etc. - Automotive parts
Sliding parts (gears, bearing retainers, etc.)
- Fuel parts
Tubes, pump flanges, lock nuts, etc. - Intake and cooling parts
Intercooler tanks, thermostat housing, etc.
- High heat resistance
Exhibits stable mechanical properties over a wide temperature range with a melting point of 306ºC and a glass transition temperature of 125ºC - Low water absorption
PA9T is a material with low water absorption properties, even among other polyamides. This gives it excellent dimensional stability and stable mechanical properties. - Excellent formability
This material exhibits low outgassing during formation. It provides excellent formability with few burrs created despite high flow grade.
- Electrical properties
It offers excellent tracking resistance properties (dielectric breakdown strength) and allows for the use of smaller parts by shortening the breakdown distance between high-voltage insulation parts. - Chemical resistance
It exhibits strong resilience to non-polar solvents and also excellent resilience to alcohol, water and other polar solvents.
