Lyon, France – June 6, 2007 – Rhodia Polyamide will use the K 2007
exhibition as the global launch platform for an innovative High Fluidity
Polyamide 6.6 product range. This new range will deliver a breakthrough
material solution that provides a broader degree of design freedom
together with an outstanding surface finish in the final part.
Importantly, the High Fluidity Polyamide 6.6 will enable moulders to
improve productivity and to reduce cycle time, while maintaining the
temperature, chemical and mechanical advantages of polyamide 6.6. The High
Fluidity Polyamide 6.6 also provides for a high level of stiffness and
retention of mechanical properties at high continuous use temperatures.
The High Fluidity Polyamide 6.6 range, which results from strong ongoing
investments in R&D and proprietary Rhodia technologies, will open up new
avenues of opportunity. Particularly in applications for which high levels
of mineral or glass fibre reinforcement are required without compromising
either productivity or surface appearance.
To be featured in its presentation (Booth E24, Hall 6) at K 2007, this new
range reconfirms Rhodia as a worldwide leader in polyamide innovation and
the provision of higher performance solutions that meet the evolving
demands of global customers and markets.
Rhodia Polyamide is an upstream integrated company providing intermediates
for polyamide and other applications, polyamide polymers, as well as a
