IXEF polyarylamide (PARA) has the highest strength and stiffness to weight ratio of engineering thermoplastics. It also boasts tight dimensional molding accuracy, very low creep properties, outstanding fatigue resistance and thermal expansion similar to metals - as well as a surface finish unmatched by any reinforced thermoplastic on the market today.

These characteristics make IXEF PARA an ideal material for door handles, wind screen frames, sunroof mechanics, rear view mirrors and mirror support brackets, as well as an alternative to metal in door lock mechanics.

AMODEL polyphthalamide (PPA) has good surface for painting and high enough heat resistance to be painted on line. These materials are good for tank flaps and louvers.
