https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-03/Nymax BIO Bio-based Polyamide Solutions Product Bulletin.pdf
These bio-derived and
glass fiber-reinforced formulations utilize 16–47%
natural filler from renewable plant sources,
including corn, straw, and wheat.
The Nymax BIO portfolio includes six grades
that offer lower warpage plus excellent surface
appearance and colorability compared with
traditional PA66 glass fiber-filled materials.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Bio-polymers that reduce the carbon
footprint value significantly
• Achieves equivalent performance as PA66
glass fiber-filled materials
• Excellent surface appearance and colorability
• Lower warpage compared with PA66 glass
fiber-filled materials
• Cost-effective alternative to PA66 glass
fiber-filled materials
• Excellent dimensional stability and property
retention rate after water uptake
• Commercially available in Asia
APPLICATIONS
Nymax BIO formulations can be applied to reach
sustainability goals in demanding applications
including:
• Transportation • Consumer goods
• Industrial • Building and construction
