UBE NYLON 1024IU1 is an impact-modified polyamide 6 (PA6) specifically designed for blow molding applications that require a combination of good processability, low-temperature impact resistance, and excellent chemical resistance. This material is particularly suitable for applications such as fuel containers and chemical packaging, where safety, performance, and regulatory compliance are essential.
One of the standout features of UBE NYLON 1024IU1 is its high impact strength, even at -20 ºC, as demonstrated in standardized drop tests. Unlike unmodified PA6, which shows significant brittleness at low temperatures, this grade maintains mechanical integrity after impact, even following exposure to aggressive substances such as white spirit and PFL 2323. This makes it ideal for hazardous material packaging, ensuring robust protection under extreme conditions.
In terms of chemical resistance, UBE NYLON 1024IU1 meets the strict thresholds set by ADR regulations for weight variation (target <7.5%) and fuel permeation (target <0.008 g/l·h), showing excellent barrier performance against hydrocarbons.
The grade also exhibits stable rheological behavior across a range of temperatures (240–280 °C), which translates to reliable and efficient processing in industrial blow molding operations. Its balance of strength, chemical resistance, and thermal stability is further enhanced by heat stabilization, improving long-term performance under demanding conditions.
Overall, UBE NYLON 1024IU1 offers a versatile and durable solution for manufacturers seeking advanced polyamide materials for blow-molded products exposed to harsh chemicals and mechanical stress.
