...in materials based on renewable resources has also increased in the field of plastics processing in recent years, Akro-Plastic has also developed a polyamide 610 based on renewable resources. About 60 % of the raw materials used in production of Akromid S are renewable. or oil from the seeds of the or oil plant is the source of sebacic acid, which serves as the renewable resource component in the polymer. From the technical standpoint, PA610 fills the gap between PA6 or PA66 and PA12. It exhibit...

...ies. A distinction is made according to the raw material used, i. e. whether they are produced on the basis of biomass or fossil raw materials (petrochemical basis). Another criterion is biodegradability (Fig. 1). Biopolyamide: Favorable CO2 Balance Akromid S, the polyamide (PA610) compound from Akro-Plastic GmbH, Niederzissen, Germany, fulfills the current definition of a bioplastic. It has a biogenic carbon content of up to 70 %. or oil, obtained from the seed of the or oil plant, is the start...

...ts with reduced weight but full loading capacity can be made from plastics. Ecology however also means sustainability which can be achieved through the use of renewable raw materials. New high performance polymers based on PA 610 such as for example Akromid S, are equally of interest for metal substitution due to their chemical resistance and low water uptake. This material is synthesized from sebacic acid (or oil). In this way 70 % of the carbon content is provided by renewable raw materials us...
