New Additives Enhance Performance Of AP-NYLON® Cast Polyamides

With three new additives, BrüggemannChemical (www.brueggemann.com) allows the extension of the properties of anionically polymerized AP-NYLON® cast polyamides. BRUGGOLEN® TP-C1608 is a particularly efficient heat stabilizer that enables, for the first time, long-term service temperatures of up to 150 °C. BRUGGOLEN® TP-C1312 has been developed to raise impact strength, while the delaying activator BRUGGOLEN® C25 can be used to not only facilitate the casting of parts with large dimensions and/or small wall thicknesses but also to simplify the production of high-quality composites.
