Polyamide 6 leadership in performance and sustainability
Fibrant is a leader in polyamide 6 technology, providing innovative products designed to meet the challenges of modern industries. Our Alphamid® and HE series polyamide 6 products offer tailored solutions that combine strength and durability with high quality and with our EcoLactam® IMPACT polyamide 6 product range additionally an ultra-low carbon footprint.
Alphamid® polyamide 6
Alphamid® provides superior mechanical strength, thermoforming capabilities, and excellent barrier properties against gases, flavours, and aromas, making it a top choice for packaging in sensitive industries like food and pharmaceuticals. Alphamid® can be extruded alone or in combination with other polymers, such as polyethylene, polypropylene or EVOH making it the ideal choice where specific packaging needs are required. Fully compliant with EU food contact regulations, Alphamid® is trusted for packaging solutions where safety and protection are critical.
Key Benefits:
- Superior mechanical strength for durable packaging solutions.
- Excellent barrier properties against gases, flavors, and aromas.
- High thermoforming capabilities for versatile packaging applications.
- EU food contact regulation compliant for safety and protection.
Alphamid® – Markets and Applications:
Food Packaging
- Sausage casings: Offering durability and high barrier properties for packaging.
- Meat packaging: Ensuring freshness and high puncture resistance for durable packaging.
- Cheese packaging: Providing an aroma and flavour barrier for long shelf life.
Pharmaceutical and Medical Packaging
- Medication packaging: Offering barrier protection against moisture and contamination.
HE Series polyamide 6
The HE series polyamide 6 is engineered for… making it ideal amongst others for engineering plastics compounds. Due to its unique properties, our HE series polyamide 6 is widely used in engineering plastics compounds for the automotive, the electrical and electronics (E&E) and general industry applications as well as for bulk continuous filament (BCF) yarn applications for the carpet industry.
Key Benefits:
- High stability
- Excellent strength and fluidity
- Strong plasticity
HE series polyamide 6 – Markets and Applications:
Automotive
- Engine components: Used in engineering plastics compounds for injection-molded parts like engine covers and air intake manifolds.
- E-Motor components: Ideal for connectors and battery components due to strength and flexibility.
Textiles
- Carpet yarn (BCF): Durable, cost-effective solution for carpets used in residential and commercial settings.
- Filaments and fibers: Used in monofilaments and multifilaments for industrial textile applications.
Electrical and Electronics
