Description
Orgasol® Ultrafine polyamide powders are a range of polymers and copolymers of lauryllactam (PA 12) and/or caprolactam (PA 6), obtained by direct polymerization.
Thanks to this unique process, a wide range of Orgasol® powders with a unique spherical shape and very narrow particle size distribution is available. The grades differ in terms of particle size (from 5 to 60 microns), specific surface area and melting-point.
Properties
