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.
