PA11 Arkema BESNOP40TL

PA11 Arkema BESNOP40TL Resin

Material Introduction: PA11 Arkema BESNOP40TL is a polyamide‑11 resin with outstanding flexibility and impact‑resistance. It also delivers good chemical‑corrosion resistance, wear‑resistant self‑lubricating property, bio‑based eco‑friendly feature, low‑moisture‑absorption and excellent dimensional stability.

Main Applications

Automotive fuel / brake‑system components (core application): Multi‑layer fuel‑pipe barrier layers (compliant with China‑VI evaporative emission standard), brake hoses, pneumatic pipelines (DOT3/4 brake‑fluid resistance).

Flexible high‑pressure pipes: Industrial hydraulic hoses, compressed‑air tubes (pressure resistance ≥20 MPa).

Electronic cable sheaths: Robot cables, submarine cables (bending‑fatigue resistance>5 million cycles).

Precision moving parts: UAV gears, ski bindings (low‑temperature impact‑resistance).

Food‑contact & medical parts: Compliant with FDA / EC 1935 standards, applied for milk‑pump valves, endoscope sleeves.

Injection Molding Parameters

Processing Step Parameter Range Key Control Points
Drying 80‑90 ℃ × 4‑6 h Dew point ≤‑40℃, moisture content<0.1%.
Barrel Temperature Rear zone:190‑210 ℃ Avoid thermal degradation; residence time<8 min.
  Middle zone:200‑220 ℃
  Front zone / Nozzle:210‑230 ℃
Mold Temperature 60‑80 ℃ Mold temperature<40 ℃ causes uneven shrinkage and flow marks.
Injection Pressure 60‑100 MPa Take upper‑limit value for thin‑wall parts.
Holding Pressure 40‑60% of injection pressure Long‑time holding‑pressure may induce internal‑stress cracking.
Screw Speed 50‑80 rpm High‑speed rotation brings shear overheating risk.
Recycled‑material Ratio ≤25% Blend with virgin material to maintain stable performance.
