| Description: Ultramid® Endure is a new, glass-fiber reinforced polyamide that combines excellent heat aging resistance with the good processing properties of PA 66. Ultramid® Endure can withstand continuous use over 3,000 hours at 220° C and temperature peaks of up to 240°, extending the range of applications of polyamide into the high temperature range. Applications: Ultramid® Endure is suitable for all parts exposed to high temperatures over a prolonged period. Potential applications for Ultramid® Endure consequently include all parts in the charge air ducts such as intercooler end caps, resonators, charge-air lines and throttle valves, together with components on the slightly cooler side of the turbocharger. Another possible future field of application for the new material is intake manifolds with integrated water-cooled intercoolers. The high temperatures in these special manifolds push conventional thermoplastic materials for intake manifolds to their limits. Information provided by BASF |
