Recycled Polyamide 66 (PA66) Compounds

Recycled Polyamide 66 (PA66) compounds are engineered plastic materials that utilize reclaimed or recycled PA66 resins, along with various additives and modifiers, to create sustainable and environmentally friendly plastic compounds. These compounds retain many of the desirable properties of virgin PA66 while reducing environmental impact by incorporating recycled materials.

Polykemi is a leading producer of high-quality polymer compounds and masterbatches, serving a variety of industries, including consumer products, construction, and automotive. Polykemi prioritizes innovation and customer satisfaction, offering specialized solutions to meet each client’s unique needs.

DOMO Chemicals is a family-owned company located in Ghent, Belgium, dedicated to engineering polyamide solutions that contribute to positive change sustainably. With its roots in the textile industry, DOMO prioritizes taking responsibility for its impact on society and the environment.

Unique Properties

Recycled PA66 compounds offer unique properties and advantages, including:

  • Sustainability: They promote sustainability by reducing the consumption of virgin PA66 resin and minimizing waste.
  • Mechanical Strength: Recycled PA66 compounds can retain the mechanical strength and toughness associated with virgin PA66, making them suitable for various applications.
  • Heat Resistance: They maintain heat resistance properties, which are essential for applications exposed to elevated temperatures.
  • Chemical Resistance: Like virgin PA66, recycled compounds can offer good resistance to many chemicals and solvents.
  • Dimensional Stability: Recycled PA66 compounds can exhibit low moisture absorption and excellent dimensional stability, ensuring parts maintain their shape and size.
  • Electrical Insulation: They maintain effective electrical insulating properties.

Alternative for

Recycled PA66 compounds are chosen when sustainability and reduced environmental impact are top priorities. However, alternatives may include other sustainable engineering thermoplastics made from recycled materials, such as recycled polyethylene (rPE), recycled polypropylene (rPP), or bio-based materials. The selection is influenced by factors such as the desired material properties, the specific sustainability goals of the application, and cost considerations. Recycled PA66 compounds are preferred when a balance between sustainability and maintaining the properties of PA66 is required, especially in industries committed to reducing their ecological footprint.
