HIGH POTENTIAL PRODUCTS

The highly-filled polyamides in the ROTEC® PA M series, which are manufactured with special mineral fillers and a specific process technology, provide excellent mechanical properties such as rigidity and impact strength, as well as dimensional stability and a broad processing window, even at higher temperatures. The ROMIRA products are also noted for their excellent surface quality and haptics.
 
ROTEC® PA M series offers designers almost unlimited possibilities and users do not have to compromise on surface quality, irrespective of whether they are dealing with technical or aesthetic parts. For instance, aesthetic parts can be produced with a ceramic look and haptic, as well as with a metallic look and haptic. It is also possible to create matt surfaces and Cool-Touch very effectively. The fillers in combination WITH and WITHOUT coating make the Cool-Touch properties of the end product more attractive in terms of quality. A further advantage: Numerous pure color shades can be developed on the basis of mineral-filled PA compounds.

A variety of applications are possible with the ROTEC® PA M series - including items such as door handles (inside and outside) and knobs for the automotive sector, household appliances as well as bathroom components, housings for power tools and products in the cosmetics sector: for example, ROTEC® PA6 3501 M60 is currently being tested for cosmetic packaging with a ceramic effect - in this case, not only the tactile qualities are important, but also the acoustic properties of the material are relevant when it comes to a positive perception of quality.

The future demonstrates the potential offered by the ROTEC® PA M series: ROTEC® PA6 3501 M60 with chrome plating and metalization has the potential to replace ABS in the cosmetics industry. The level of shrinkage between the ROMIRA material and ABS is similar. The existing ABS molds could be used to produce parts using the ROMIRA material.
