TechnoMid Line

High damping characteristics, weather and light resistance

TechnoMid: Ideal Solution for Technical Applications
TechnoMid compounds are particularly suitable for technical applications due to their outstanding characteristics. The excellent sliding qualities and the
favourable abrasion behaviour of TechnoMid compounds also permit their use in bearings.

TechnoMid compounds count among the technical thermoplastic compounds.

PA6 is made from caprolactam by means of hydrolytic polymerisation. The PA6.6 is produced by poly-condensation of hexa-ethylene diamine and adipic acid.

Typical Applications:
TechnoMid products can be applied:

• in the automotive industry, e.g. fans, lubrication filters, car lock components ...
• in the electrical industry, e.g. coil shells, housings for electrical appliances, plugs and couplers ...
• in the household appliances, e.g. kitchen appliances, vacuum cleaner housings ...
• in the furniture industry, e.g. strike plates, furniture hinges, dowels ...
• in mechanical engineering and tool-building: gears, castors, screws, nuts guide slide bearings, glass fibre reinforced types for stiff, large surface housing components ...

Pre-drying:
We recommend a pre-drying period of 2 to 4 hours at 80 °C in an air-dryer for the manufacturing of mechanically and visually flawless injection moulded parts. The drying period must be extended accordingly when using open packaging units or ground material.

Higher tool temperatures reduce tension in the injection moulded parts, resulting in better surfaces, better embedding of the glass fibres, higher degree of crystallisation and low post-shrinkage.
