Based on polyamide 4.6, Xecarb 37 and Xebrid 37, are our two brand-new families of carbon fibre and hybrid carbon/glass fibre reinforced compounds.

PA 4.6 is a high-performance polyamide known for its unmatched performance and value for demanding applications in which superior heat resistance, design stiffness, wear and friction and process flow qualities are required.

Thanks to the application of structural reinforcements the new grades Xecarb 37 and Xebrid 37 exhibit high tensile modulus, tensile strength at break up to 275 MPa, improved HDT, good fatigue resistance, higher dimensional stability and better surface hardness.

Furthermore, the use of carbon fibres within the Xecarb 37-family provides improved electrical properties and better resistance to UV and chemical agents like oils and hydrocarbon.

With the development of the new grades Xebrid 37, hybrid carbon/glass reinforced compounds, the impact properties and the toughness have improved, always maintaining a high crystallinity level and a great flow behaviour, typical for the polymer’s aliphatic molecular structure.
