1010 (PA1010) is created through poly-condensation of decanediamine and sebacic acid.
Both monomers are obtained from a multiple-step chemical process from the renewable bio raw material castor oil. Polyamide 1010 is based to nearly 100 per cent on renewable raw materials.
Special features of PA1010 are:
nearly 100% use of renewable basic raw materials (in relation to the polymer)
very low water absorption and excellent dimensional stability
good resistance to chemicals and weathering
low density
wide processing window, problem-free processing
a direct bio-alternative to PA12
Important application areas for PA1010 are feed lines in automotive and industrial applications, especially lactam-free fuel lines, cable sheathing, sports & leisure and housings for portable electronic devices.
