ForTii overview

Explore ForTii® in automotive structural parts & metal replacement

If you are looking to unlock new design potential in automotive applications – boosting performance, cutting fuel emissions and reducing total cost of ownership, then ForTii PA4T MX portfolio is your number one choice. ForTii (Ace) MX portfolio contains semiaromatic polyamides based on Envalior’s unique PA4T technology. ForTii MX is tested extensively in parts, since testing of tensile bars does often not represent the part complexity (ribs, weldlines, inserts) in the real world.

With the development of highly glass filled ForTii Ace, a material with a glass transition temperature of up to 160°C, Envalior opened up a new space in metal replacement. ForTii Ace enables metal replacement in parts that were not possible up to now, giving designers even more freedom to realize increasingly complex designs. This technology is perfectly tailored to automotive applications, such as enclosures (EPS, actuators, sensors), brackets, covers, fuel pumps and connectors
