Castor oil is used to make new polyamides greener

| By Chemical Engineering

This firm will launch two new innovations at the K-Show: Technyl eXten is an environmentally friendly polyamide 6.10 solution, produced in part from castor oil; and Fuel In by Technyl, a new family of polyamide-based (6 and 6.6) products specifically developed for the production of parts that will come in contact with fuels. The firm is also introducing a patented, polyamide-based matrix that is perfectly suited for producing high-performance continuous-glass or carbon-fiber composite materials.
