Ultramid® BU50I

About
Ultramid Ultratough Nylon BU50I is an unreinforced PA6, impact modified injection molding product that maintains its impact strength and ductility to -40 deg F (-40 deg C). The extreme low temperature tolerance of Ultratough Nylon BU50I makes it ideal for applications in which the weldline impact strength at low temperatures is critical. Applications Ultramid BU50I is generally recommended for automotive components, small engines, power tool parts and casings, cold weather and high impact supports gear, such as snowboards, ski components, helmets and hockey masks.&&
