Bio-PA610 Flexible — Bio-based Polyamide 610, Flexible Grade Q
Bio-PA610 Flexible Grade Q is a bio-copolymer polyamide made from hexamethylenediamine (partly bio-based) and sebacic acid (derived from castor oil). It offers lower moisture absorption compared to PA66 or PA6, leading to better dimensional stability and retention of mechanical properties in humid environments. Its flexibility makes it suitable for various engineered parts and filaments.
