Evonik has developed a new polyamide molding compound for optical applications. The TROGAMID® myCX high-fluidity material provides crystal clearness, excellent wearing comfort, high durability and further improved processability.
This unique combination of properties makes this high-performance polymer a material for high-end lenses and visors, such as sun visors or ski goggles.
Compared with similar high-performance materials, the fluidity of TROGAMID® myCX has been significantly improved, which makes it possible to process this molding compound at a temperature range that is lowered by at least 20 ° C, resulting in higher processing efficiency and productivity.
TROGAMID® myCX high flow resin is distinguished by its excellent transparency of more than 90% and low density of 1.03g / cm2. It is a material designed for demanding optical applications, such as lenses or high-end sun visors and Snowboard goggles.
This high-performance polymer combines outstanding quality and design freedom with wearing comfort.
Due to its mechanical properties, resistance to stress cracking and breaking strength, TROGAMID® myCX high flow resins ensure high durability and safety, which is essential for the optical industry.
In addition, the new transparent polyamide developed by Evonik can also be combined with all frame materials.
TROGAMID® is Evonik's highly successful transparent polyamide product line that has been used in the optical industry for more than 20 years. This portfolio includes innovative high-performance polymers for lenses and frames, as well as many other materials such as UV protection or polarizing film for high contrast vision.
From February 23rd to 25th, 2019, at the MIDO2019 exhibition in Milan, Italy, Evonik will display TROGAMID® myCX high fluidity material.
