Durethan® is the trade name for our range of engineering thermoplastics based on polyamide 6 and polyamide 66.


Polyamides are partially crystalline thermoplastics which offer an ideal combination of properties, especially for technical applications. In addition to being easy to process, polyamides combine high mechanical strength and stiffness with good dielectric properties, high resistance to both heat and chemical attack and good friction and wear properties.

Please note that polyamides are hygroscopic materials, that is, they will absorb moisture from the atmosphere over time in a reversible process known as conditioning (typically 1-3% depending on grade). Conditioning greatly improves the toughness of the material including properties such as strain at break and impact strength. Modulus (stiffness) and stress at break, on the other hand, will decrease.


Focus Durethan® BLUE and ECO
LANXESS is responding to this trend by supplying recyclate grades in the form of its Durethan ECO ranges. Durethan Scopeblue - our most sustainable premium polyamide 6 - now enhances this field of products.
