GENESTAR™ PA9T heat resistant polyamide

High performance materials are needed for applications that require high chemical, mechanical and heat resistance. Examples are thermal management applications, tubes, gears and fuel cell parts in the automotive industry and electrical and electronic components. GENESTAR™ PA9T, the heat resistant polyamide from Kuraray, is a high-performance material for demanding applications in the automotive, E&E industries, and new applications in oil & gas and e-bikes.

Lightweight automotive components for tough conditions

GENESTAR™ PA9T is a long-chain polyphthalamide (PPA) developed specifically for injection molding and extrusion processes. Its unique mechanical properties allow the production of reliable components for the automotive industry and play a key part in reducing the weight of vehicles. Thanks to its excellent heat resistance, applications for GENESTAR™ PA9T include gears and automotive connectors. The chemical resistance of this polyamide also makes it ideal for use in tough conditions, for example in coolant applications and high temperature tube parts.

Reliable components for demanding electronics

In the electrical and electronics industry, GENESTAR™  PA9T is used for high-performance components such as SMT (surface mount technology) connectors. Low water absorption and excellent dimensional stability ensure maximum reliability — especially in automotive connectors. Other applications for this polyamide are high-voltage connectors for new energy vehicles and industrial electronic parts.

GENESTAR™ PA9T is the material of choice for automotive and E&E applications where maximum reliability and low weight are important.
