  • PA46 - Stanyl®

    Stanyl is a high-performance aliphatic polyamide with a melting temperature of 295°C that due to its high crystallinity and fast crystallization speeds entails three key strengths.

  • PA410 - EcoPaXX®

    EcoPaXX is a high-performance aliphatic, biobased polyamide that uniquely balances the benefits of typical short and long chain polyamides, such as low moisture uptake and high mechanical performance.

  • PA6 & PA66 - Akulon®

    Akulon polyamide 6 & 66 resins represent the best value in all-purpose engineering materials, offering an excellent balance of design and processing with outstanding mechanical properties in diverse operating environments.

  • PBT - Pocan®

    Pocan® is a high-quality brand of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and PBT blends crafted by Envalior. Pocan is known for its impressive resistance to heat and chemicals, outstanding electrical properties, strength and hardness. It is designed to cater to a wide range of industries, including automotive, electrical/electronics, lighting, household appliances, and sports & leisure.
