Arkema and Toyobo are to enter a JV to develop high-temperature polyamides made from renewable resources. Under this collaboration, Arkema and Toyobo will promote a new generation of high-temperature polyamides, with improved technical properties and lower environmental footprint. The new products initially consist of two ranges with melting points around 250°C and 315°C, with a very low moisture pick up and a biobased content up to 70%. Their unique properties make them particularly suitable for highly technical metal replacement applications in consumer electronics and automotive applications, when high-temperature resistance and dimensional stability are requested and where plastics could not be used before.
