PPA
Reinforced polyphthalamide for high mechanical performance and thermal stability
PPA (Polyphthalamide) is a high-performance technopolymer from the aromatic polyamide family, known for its exceptional dimensional stability, high temperature resistance, and strong chemical resistance. Compared to PA6/PA66, PPA offers lower hygroscopicity and better mechanical properties even in humid conditions.
IonPlast offers a wide range of reinforced PPA grades, ideal for advanced applications in the automotive, electrical, industrial, and fluid dynamic sectors.
