Polyamide (PA), whether of fossil or biobased origin, is a plastic matrix synonymous with robustness and versatility. This material stands out for its high mechanical, thermal and chemical resistance, making it indispensable for demanding technical applications.
Our biobased PA-based biocomposites are reinforced by the integration of natural fibers or by-products, enhancing their mechanical properties while potentially reducing their environmental impact. These materials are particularly well-suited to sectors such as automotive, aeronautics and electronics, where performance requirements are high.
Properties
- Up to 100% biobased
- Not biodegradable
- Flexible to rigid
- Opaque to transparent
