Polyamide and polyimide

Our dimer diol can be used in polyamide or COPA:

Pripol™ bio-based* dimer fatty acids and dimer diols

This product range has been designed to enhance performance properties such as improved flexibility, excellent water barrier protection, low and stable color, enhanced melt flow and improved multi-substrate adhesion, as well as carbon footprint improvements and in-use sustainability benefits.

Pripol™ dimer fatty acids and dimer diols are especially useful in highly demanding applications such as transportation, electronics, sportswear and food packaging. Dimer modification can also reduce polymer density, perfect for light-weight applications.

Priplast™

Priplast™ polyester polyols offer unique proprieties to copolyamide (COPA) elastomers. They range from soft to semi-rigid products offering good thermo-oxidative stability and hydrolysis resistance and outperform conventional polyols.

Priplast properties chart

The benefits of these polyester polyols include water resistance, a wide window of application temperatures and enhanced melt flow.

These materials are high-end block copolymers and find use in heavy-duty sports, automotive, electronic cabling and tubing applications.

Priamine™

Priamine™ provides polyamides with flexibility, reduced melt viscosity for enhanced mold flow and improved adhesion. The low moisture absorption reduces strength variations and brings improved dimensional stability. Priamine™ can also be built in as a tough, segmented block-copolymer. Using it in this way means that the rigidity (high Tg) of the hard matrix can be maintained.

Excellent Mechanical Properties in Polyamide Plastics: Nylon 6 ‘modified’ with C44 Dimer versus C36 Dimer

Polyamide properties chart

Modifying the Nylon 6 with dimer gives Nylon 12- like properties of high elongation with good tensile strength.

Polyimide

Priamine™ 1075 dimer diamine: this product has been selected for use in high performance polyimides due to its high purity, high difunctionality and low color. This low viscosity material allows producers to reduce the use of expensive solvents during processing.

Priamine™ 1075 

Priamine™ 1075 is a low viscosity, high purity dimer diamine building block is designed for use in high molecular weight polyamides and high-performance polyimides in adhesives, sealants, elastomers and engineering plastics.

It gives formulators freedom to adjust the melting point, allowing for higher temperature exposure of the end product without compromise on performance.
