Nylon polymers that lack a regular crystalline structure are referred to as amorphous nylon. Amorphous nylon has a disorganised molecular structure as opposed to crystalline nylon, which has a molecular structure that is highly ordered and repeats. Its particular qualities and suitability for specific applications are a result of its amorphous nature.
Comparatively to its crystalline counterparts, amorphous nylon often exhibits superior chemical resistance. In applications where chemical resistance is essential, its ability to tolerate exposure to various chemicals and solvents is useful. The melting point of amorphous nylon is usually lower than that of crystalline nylon.
The Global Amorphous nylon market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
At Pro Pak China, Ascend Performance Materials introduced its Hi Dura LUX amorphous nylon for use in packaging films in the Asian market. Along with their Hi Dura PTR rip and tear resistant nylon copolymers for films, Ascend will be presenting Hi Dura LUX.
In order to decrease the number of food products that are never consumed because of spoilage or damage, there is an increasing demand in the wider Chinese market for packaging films with improved performance. New, high-performance films are added to the array of packaging films to reduce food waste and product damage across the supply chain.
The manufacturer claims that shrink films for protein packaging, thermoforming films, and barrier layers for fiberboard packaging are perfect applications for Hi Dura LUX amorphous nylon. According to the manufacturer, using Hi Dura LUX in end-use applications creates a superior oxygen and moisture barrier that prolongs product shelf life and guards against food spoiling.
Hi Dura LUX polymer from Ascend is accessible everywhere due to international food contact approvals. Hi Dura Lux is a specialty modifier used in combination with other polyamides to improve important performance characteristics of packaging, such as: Improved thermoforming, upgraded orientation to improve shrink performance.
Higher gloss and less haze are two improvements in optical characteristics. It has greater oxygen barrier and improved organoleptic performance.
