Polyamide 6 (PA 6)

PA 6 has the lowest processing temperature of the polyamide family. It is used in a broad range of applications while fillers contribute significantly to critical properties for the less demanding applications. Matching processability, thermal stability of the flame retardant package at these lower processing temperatures have permitted some limited use of DE-83R with alternative synergists to antimony trioxide. However the higher thermal stability of the BP411 would make it a more attractive candidate.
