What is Stanyl® PA46

Envalior Stanyl® is the first high-temperature polyamide material and the only aliphatic polyamide in its class. Thirty years ago, it defined this class of materials and today it is still the most widely used polymer basis. The symmetry of the 46 structure ensures that the polymers fit in the crystal in multiple ways, thereby giving rise to high crystallization speeds and high crystallinity. This combination makes the material ideal for high-temperature applications due to excellent mechanics as well as wear and friction behavior, where the flow and the flow-mechanics balance are one of a kind.

Stanyl® PA46 Material Benefits

• Air Management: The unique stabilization technique developed in house at Envalior has sparked the Diablo portfolio. This class of materials have improved heat ageing performance versus the standard-heat stabilized materials.

• Wear & Friction: A wide range of PA46 materials have been developed that can be applied in friction driven applications, like gears, actuators and valve timing chain guides.

• Electronics: Due to the superior flow behavior, high CTI, strong mechanical performance at high temperatures and weld-line strength, Stanyl® PA46 is often used in connectors, for example USB-C connectors.

Common PA46 Applications

• Electronics: Desktops / PCs

• Automotive: Engine - Transmission

• Consumer Goods: Household utensils

• Automotive: Engine - Valve Train
