Improve Processing of Polyamides

Chain Extension of Polyamides

NEXAMITE® additives for polyamides provide melt strength enhancement and viscosity modification through linear chain extension and long-chain branching technologies.

Improved Processing and Performance

Polyamides used in extrusion and fiber applications often require improved melt strength and process stability.

By increasing molecular weight during melt processing, chain extension enables more stable processing and enhanced final properties.

Linear Chain Extension with NEXAMITE® A99

NEXAMITE® A99 is a linear chain extender designed to increase the molecular weight of polyamides during melt processing.

This results in improved viscosity, enhanced melt strength, and better process stability.

Key Performance Benefits:

  • Increased molecular weight during processing
  • Improved melt strength
  • Enhanced process stability
  • Better mechanical properties
  • Particularly suitable for PA11 and PA12

Typical Applications:

  • Filament extrusion
  • Fiber production
  • Extruded polyamide products
  • Applications requiring stable melt strength
