EcoPaXX combines excellent thermal and mechanical properties with low moisture uptake and high chemical resistance. This makes it especially suitable for automotive applications that require good mechanial performance after conditioning, water/glycol ageing and road salt exposure. Additionally, EcoPaXX has excellent surface aesthetics, which is ideal for decorative components that require thermal and mechanical stability, such as engine covers.
EcoPaXX is Envalior’s most established biobased engineering plastic. It combines Envalior’s propriety C4 technology with the power of nature’s C10 building block derived from castor plants, which do not compete with the food chain. The combination of the short C4 block and the long C10 block gives EcoPaXX high mechanical properties of typical short chain polyamides, but combines these with lower moisture update and higher chemical resistance more typical of long chain polyamides. EcoPaXX can easily be processed in PA66 tools while resulting in better surface quality. This makes it an ideal candidate for when performance, aesthetics and sustainability come together.
