Ascend Performance Materials to present Vydyne® electrically neutral grades at Performance Polyamides Conference in Cologne

Ascend Performance Materials, the largest fully integrated producer of PA66 resin, will be presenting on heat-stabilized and electrically-neutral nylon 6,6 compounds at the 2017 Performance Polyamides conference.

The presentation, titled “Heat-stable and Electrically Neutral PA66 Compounds for Sensors and Connectors Used in Harsh Environments,” will focus on Ascend’s Vydyne® J Series. Vydyne J Series compounds offer enhanced flow for the molding of thin wall parts and improved productivity, as well as high dielectric strength and dimensional stability for miniaturized applications such as connectors and other intricate components.

“In working with automotive parts and electrical and electronic component manufacturers, we have developed a number of PA66 solutions for use in harsh environments,” said Jeff Fritsch, Ascend’s business development manager for Europe. “Vydyne products deliver superior hydrolysis-, chemical- and heat-resistance, and are used in numerous sensors and connector applications. The unique properties of our nylon 6,6 resins and compounds are helping the automotive industry adapt to new technologies and global trends.”

Ascend’s presentation will be given on June 7, 2017, at the Maritim Hotel in Cologne, Germany.
