TENAC™ – POM

The TENAC™ homopolymer acetal resins and TENAC™-C copolymer acetal resins are engineering plastics with superior slide and mechanical charactistics widely used in automotive, electronic/electric and industrial components.

XYRON™ – mPPE

Our XYRON™ grades are engineering resins created by alloy combinations of modified polyphenylene ether (mPPE) with polystyrene (PS), polyamide (PA), polypropylene (PP), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) or other polymers. They provide superior heat resistance, flame retardance, dimensional stability, and mechanical properties.

LEONA™ – PA6.6

The LEONA™ grades are molding compounds based on PA6.6 and semi-aromatic polyamides such as PA6.6/6I and PA612. Our range is available in unfilled version as well as reinforced with glass fibers and special composites. LEONA™ is noted for its high strength, heat-, oil, and abrasion resistance as well as for its workability.

Thermylene® – PP Compounds

Our Thermylene® product range stands for chemically coupled glass reinforced polypropylenes (PP) offering an attractive mass/ cost/ performance value. Our award winning materials are utilized worldwide for their higher strength, high modulus and distinctive performance in automotive, furniture and water handling markets.

LEONA™ Polyamide 6.6

Polyamides have traditionally been a go-to material for applications and components in challenging environments because of their increased rigidity, tensile strength, superior thermal stability, and enhanced ignition resistance.

– High melting point
– Excellent heat resistance
– Chemical and oil resistance
