Description

Orgalloy® LE 60 THM NAT resin is a polyamide alloy especially designed for tube and profile extrusion. This natural grade dedicated to extrusion offers excellent barrier properties and chemical resistance to hydrocarbons, alcohols and solvents while exhibiting a good cold impact performance and abrasion resistance. Conform to the European regulations concerning materials in contact with foodstuffs.

This material data has been provided by Arkema Technical Polymers.

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.
