Syensqo’s Omnix® HPPA as a Solution to the PA 6.6 Shortage for Structural Applications
Polyamide 6.6 (PA 6.6) is the world’s most commonly used material to manufacture plastics with heat resistance, strength and durability for automotive, healthcare, consumer and construction markets. However, PA 6.6 is currently experiencing a global shortage with no immediate solution in prospect to restore the world’s supply of this polymer.
In this webinar, Syensqo experts explore the technical and mechanical components of Omnix® HPPA and Ixef® PARA and provide industry-specific advantages of these specialty polymers as an alternative material for PA 6.6.
This webinar covers: Cost-equivalent polymer with higher performance • Key benefits of lower moisture absorption • Comparison of dry and conditioned data • Options for more aesthetic surface appearance

The skyrocketing price of PA 6.6 is now on par with Omnix® HPPA, a high performance polyamide that offers enhanced performance for structural applications that don’t require high heat resistance. Additionally, it can be injection molded on the same equipment as PA 6.6. Ixef® PARA builds on this performance, providing even higher strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability along with an exceptional surface finish.
PA 6.6 Pricing Overview
This webinar explains the price evolution of PA 6.6. The supply deficiency has caused PA 6.6 prices to reach the cost of some higher performing alternatives and prices are expected to escalate over the next few years. Syensqo currently offers Omnix® HPPA, which is a cost-equivalent alternative that outperforms PA 6.6 in system quality and efficiency. Additionally, the price margin is greatly reduced between the current price of PA 6.6 and Ixef® PARA.
