Reny™ Plant-Based Low Water Absorption Grade uses polyamide XD10 (poly(xylylene sebacamide)), a certified bioplastic. It reduces CO2 emissions while maintaining high strength and heat resistance, and helps reduce the use of fossil energy resources and environmental impacts through carbon resource recycling. Reny™ Plant-Based Low Water Absorption Grade contributes to product designs conscious of carbon neutrality, carbon footprints, sustainability, and life cycle assessments (LCA).

Features

・Use of biomass-derived polyamides (nylon) to allow for environmentally-conscious product designs

・Mechanical properties and heat resistance equal or greater than PA6, PA66 in a bio-based solution

・Water absorption 1/3–1/4 of PA6 and PA66, and minimal degradation of physical properties and changes to physical dimensions due to moisture absorption.

・Products with features such as low warpage, non-halo flame retardant, weather resistance, CF reinforcement, etc.

XH-series

・Highest levels of heat resistance in bio-based polyamides

・Outstanding hydrolysis resistance and chemical resistance

XL-series

・Good physical appearance with little filler floating

・Easy injection molding
