TECHNYL® MAX
Ultra-High Stiffness Polyamide Designed for Structural Metal Replacement
In today’s pursuit of lightweighting and high performance, structural materials must simultaneously meet requirements for ultra-high stiffness, excellent fatigue resistance, superior dimensional stability, and good processability. The TECHNYL® MAX series was developed to address these challenges, featuring up to 65% glass fiber or 40% carbon fiber reinforcement, successfully bridging the cost-performance gap between standard PA66 and advanced solutions like PPA and PPS — making it the premier choice for metal replacement.
The TECHNYL MAX series successfully bridges the cost-performance gap between conventional PA66 and advanced solutions including PA-LGF, PPA-GF, and PPS-GF for structural components.
Key Benefits of TECHNYL MAX
Exceeding traditional polyamides, approaching high-performance engineering plastics
Tensile modulus up to 33 GPa (carbon fiber reinforced), with exceptional flexural modulus approaching the specific stiffness of die-cast aluminum, enabling lightweight metal replacement.
Significantly improved fatigue resistance compared to standard PA66, suitable for dynamically loaded structural applications such as automotive seat frames and industrial transmission components.
Low moisture absorption with only 5% performance drop after conditioning, minimal warpage — ideal for precision-fit components.
Resistant to oils, solvents, and coolants, meeting automotive and industrial environmental requirements.
Maintains good surface quality even at high filler loadings, meeting appearance requirements.
Processing characteristics similar to standard PA66 — no special equipment required, reducing production costs.
