Low Melting Point PA6 for Improved Blown Film Performance

Blown film production requires polymer materials that deliver stable processing behavior, consistent film formation, and reliable end-use performance. In applications where process efficiency and film quality are critical, material selection directly impacts productivity and final product characteristics.

UBE NYLON 1026BX1 is a low melting point polyamide 6 (PA6) developed to support improved performance in blown film applications. As a basic, lubricated, medium-viscosity grade, it is designed to facilitate smoother processing and enhanced stability during film production compared to conventional PA6 materials.

Thanks to its lower melting temperature, UBE NYLON 1026BX1 enables improved blown film performance, supporting better bubble stability and more controlled processing conditions. Reference data presented in the technical document includes results for 50 μm airblown films, highlighting its suitability for thin film applications where consistent output and uniform properties are required.

From a material performance perspective, this PA6 grade combines a balanced tensile modulus with high elongation at break, providing flexibility without compromising structural integrity. Additional parameters such as optical haze and oxygen transmission rate (OTR) help position UBE NYLON 1026BX1 for applications where controlled optical and barrier properties are important.
