  • Publication number: 20090283202
    Abstract: A process for the welding of two polyamide parts, both made of a polyamide composition comprising a polyamide and optionally additives, the polyamide of one part (part L) having a lower softening temperature than the polyamide of the other part (part H) and wherein the polyamide composition of part L comprises one or more viscosity increasing additives increasing the melt shear viscosity of the polyamide composition at least by 30% compared to melt shear viscosity of the polyamide (measured according to ISO 11443 (A1) standard at a shear rate of 100 s?1 in a capillary rheometer with l/d=30 mm/1 mm). A good weld strength is obtained and parts with different properties can be combined. Polyamide welded objects such as corrugated tubes, bellows, containers, fuel inlet systems, air inlet manifolds and airducts, may be obtained.

  • Patent number: 6548591
    Abstract: The invention relates to a polyamide composition with improved flow behavior that comprises at least 80-99.5 wt. % of a high-molecular polyamide and 0.5-20 wt. % of a polyamide oligomer that has a melting point that is higher than the melting point of the high-molecular polyamide, the amounts being relative to the total weight of the polyamide present in the composition. The high-molecular polyamide is preferably PA-6 or PA-4,6/6 copolymer and the polyamide oligomer is preferably chosen from the group comprising PA-6,6, PA-4,6, PA-4,6/6 copolyamide or copolyamides or mixtures thereof.
