More Outstanding Properties
Amodel® polyphthalamide

Got heat and humidity? Amodel polyphthalamide (PPA) can meet the challenge.

With a heat deflection temperature of 536°F (280°C) and continuous use temperature of 338°F (170°C), Amodel PPA can deliver the thermal performance you need for the short term as well as the long haul. It retains its exceptional mechanical properties – strength, stiffness, fatigue and creep resistance – over a broad temperature range and in high humidity environments.

Key Features
  • Mechanical properties that are ideal for metal replacement
  • Excellent high-temperature capability
  • Outstanding electrical properties
  • Excellent resistance to fuels, glycols and chemicals
  • Excellent dimensional stability- low moisture absorption
  • Low vapor transmission rate
