TROGAMID^® CX - Polyamide PA PACM 12

TROGAMID® CX compounds round off the product range of High Performance Polymers to include semicrystalline polyamides, the crystallites of which are so small that they do not scatter visible light—a property known as microcrystallinity. The compounds are therefore as clear as glass. They possess higher resistance to chemicals and stress cracking than amorphous transparent plastics, in addition to the mechanical advantages of amorphous compounds.

The outstanding properties of TROGAMID® CX are:

• crystal-clear, permanent transparency; high transmission
• superior chemical and stress cracking resistance
• high level of UV resistance
• low water absorption, which leaves the mechanical properties virtually unaffected
• high dimensional stability
• balanced mechanical property profile
• high impact resistance, even at low temperatures
• high level of dynamic strength (e.g., for internally pressurized parts)
• abrasion and scratch resistance
• high glass transition temperature
• very low isotropic shrinkage
• easy processing

The unique combination of properties in TROGAMID® CX compounds permits their use over a broad application spectrum. Areas of application can be as diverse as water management, filter technology, laboratory and medical technology, the manufacture of eyeglasses, or bottles for the cosmetics industry.
