Compared with conventional nylons, Ertalon® 4.6 features a better retention of stiffness and creep resistance over a wide range of temperatures as well as superior heat ageing resistance. Therefore, applications for Ertalon 4.6 are situated in the “higher temperature area” [80 – 150 °C] where stiffness, creep resistance, heat ageing resistance, fatigue strength and wear resistance of PA 6, PA 66, POM and PET fall short.
