| ARLEN™ is a heat resistant, modified polyamide
6T developed by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. With a high melting point (320°C) and
a rigidity level comparable to super engineering plastics, it possesses strong
dimensional stability and chemical resistance. In addition, the effect of water
absorption, which is a traditional weakness of polyamides, has been reduced to
a minimum.
There are three individual offerings in the modified polyamide product series;
each polyamide designed to meet a specific application requirement as presented
below:
| A/G
Series |
Mechanical
and structural parts |
| AE
Series |
For
tribological applications |
| C
Series |
Electrical
and electronic parts |

Mechanical and Structural:
 |
High temperature rigidity - Due to its
high glass transition point (125°C), ARLEN can retain high rigidity even in
a high-temperature atmosphere, such as the inside of an engine room. |
|
Heat Resistant |
|
Dimensional Stability |
|
Chemical Resistance - demonstrating the best chemical resistance
of all polyamide resins. |
| |
|
|
Little dimensional change due to water absorption - The dimensional
change of ARLEN due to water absorption is less than 1/2 of PA66, which is the
lowest of all polyamide resins. |
