PA10T (Polyamide 10T) is a semi-aromatic polyamide (HTN) that stands out for being partially bio-based. Derived from castor oil, it offers an eco-friendly alternative without compromising on high-temperature performance or dimensional stability.
Core Properties of PA10T
- Bio-based Origin: Made from renewable resources (castor oil), reducing the carbon footprint.
- High Heat Resistance: Excellent continuous service temperatures, suitable for SMT and automotive under-hood applications.
- Low Water Absorption: Much lower than PA6/PA66, ensuring excellent dimensional stability for precision parts.
- Chemical Resistance: Good resistance to automotive fluids and industrial chemicals.
Typical Applications
Because of its stability and eco-friendly nature, PA10T is widely used in:
- Electronics: SMT connectors and components requiring high heat resistance.
- Automotive: Engine covers, sensors, and fuel system components.
- Industrial: Precision gears and high-load structural parts.
