Impact-Modified AKROMID® Compounds

In the group of engineering thermoplastics, polyamides are characterised by a good combination of mechanical properties, chemical resistance and ageing resistance. They are filled as required, reinforced or modified. 

It is known that the mechanical properties of thermoplastics are significantly influenced by environmental conditions. In addition to temperature, this includes water absorption and humidity, since components made from conditioned polyamides exhibit different strengths than freshly moulded parts. Thermoplastics are modified appropriately to perform under a wide range of am-bient conditions.

AKRO-PLASTIC GmbH have developed a product range of impact-modified compounds for this purpose. These are suited specifically for applications which are exposed to harsh conditions. There are two types of modified compounds: cold-impact-resistant (S1) and dry-impact-resistant (S3) compounds. Non-reinforced and reinforced compounds with differing glass fibre content are available.

Product Characterisation

AKROMID® HI

The requirements of the material to be used depend on the type of component. The optimal combination of strength and toughness can be formulated based on the composition of impact-modified compounds. Non-reinforced impact-modified compounds can exhibit extremely high impact strengths. By contrast, the glass fibre grades in this product family are designed to provide a good balance of properties at significantly higher strengths.

Applications

Impact-modified AKROMID® compounds are used in all industrial sectors.

Components for sports and leisure activities are frequently confronted with high forces or even impact loads. An interesting example is an ice skate from T-Blade, for which an impact-resistant AKROMID® was used to make the blade holder. The blade itself can be replaced with a new one as soon as it is worn out. The material meets the high standards of the component even at the low temperatures at work here.

Automotive

In the automotive sector, typical applications include window frame trim, cable ducts, fastening elements or housings that may be exposed to impact loads. Often, dry-impact resistant compounds are used here to avoid the conditioning step during assembly. Since polyamides are significantly more brittle at low temperatures than at room temperature, cold-impact resistant compounds are used for corresponding requirements.
