LEXTER™, Biobased Polyamide Resins
LEXTER™ is a family of crystalline polyamide resins produced by olycondensation of xylylenediamine with sebacic acid.
Features
- Higher mechanical strength and greater elastic modulus (compared to other polyamide resins)
- Lower water absorption and moisture permeability (compared to other polyamide resins)
- Made from biomass-derived raw materials
Application
- Film and filament
- Molding parts
Physical Properties
LEXTER™ is available in a wide range of grades with different melting points.
