Nexam signs co-operation agreement with BASF

Nexam Chemical and BASF have signed an exclusive co-operation agreement regarding development and commercialization of crosslinked PA 66 (nylon 66).

The goal is to develop a PA 66, containing Nexam’s crosslinkers, which can be processed as usual to then be crosslinked using heat activation, and that the crosslinked material gets properties that are substantially better than current PA 66 based materials.

Initial application segments consist, among other things, of the automotive, electrical and electronics industry.
