The Thermec™ product range is formulated with different high temperature base polymers depending on the specific application requirements. The growing list of available grades delivers a wide range of properties depending on the type and concentration of the reinforcing agents (glass fibres, minerals, etc.) stabilizers and processing aids.
If your application requirement might not be matched by DOMAMID® or ECONAMID® materials DOMO is able to offer these PPA and PPS based alternatives. Thermec might be the right solution if higher continuous temperature is requested up to 230°C, or if the applications need high chemical resistance, increased dimensional stability or lower moisture absorption.
Based on several different PPA base polymer types, the THERMEC™ N family offers an extensive portfolio of semi-crystalline thermoplastic compounds for use in both oil and water heated molds. These compounds offer a unique combination of strength, temperature, wear and chemical resistance. The most common grades are 30% and 35% glass fibre reinforced compounds. The mechanical properties of THERMEC™ N surpass those of standard PA6 and PA6.6 polyamides at application temperatures up to 230°C – ideal for metal replacement.
Suitable for higher heat exposure applications like smaller-sized vehicles, where tighter under-hood packaging, reduced air flow, and hotter environments require higher performing materials
