Explore Akulon® Ultraflow

Manufacturers looking to improve flow and boost cycle time with excellent surface appearance are increasingly looking to Akulon Ultraflow. This easy-to-process polyamide 6 offers up to 80% improved flow and a 40% reduction in injection molding cycle times with no significant effect on mechanical properties compared to standard polyamide 6 grades.

Today, Akulon Ultraflow is being used in many demanding applications, like engine covers, intake manifolds, automotive exterior mirror shells, furniture and power tools. The bright science behind the faster flow of Akulon Ultraflow equates to lower system costs – and not just via faster cycle times.

For example, through enabling thinner wall thicknesses, less material is needed and engineers have more design freedom. An increased number of tooling cavities means lower production costs while molding parts on lower tonnage machines enables more manufacturing flexibility. And of course higher flow equals lower molded in stresses and warpage reduction.

Further Benefits

Other benefits of Akulon Ultraflow include improved surface appearance and less need for painting, along with increased scope for metal replacement – which in turn brings the benefits of weight, fuel and carbon reduction. Good for people, planet and profit.
