Ultramid® 8202C

About
Ultramid 8202C is a modified crystalline and low viscosity, PA6 injection molding homopolymer. It is also available in heat stabilized (Ultramid 8202C HS) and/or pigmented versions. Its unique crystalline structure results in increased strength, stiffness, heat distortion temperature and performance under load as a homopolymer. It also cycles faster while maintaining properties and chemical resistance. Applications Ultramid 8202C is ideally suited for applications such as: furniture casters, gears, window hardware, and fittings, insulators, bushings, valves, relays, wiring devices, and other electrical components.&&
