Omnix® FC-4050 is a 50% glass-fiber reinforced high-performance polyamide. It is hot-water moldable and intended for use in components requiring superior mechanical properties even after moisture absorption.
Omnix® FC-4050 is characterized by high stiffness and strength, very good impact properties, good dimensional stability and high flow properties. This material is an economical alternative for food service applications using die-cast alloys.
Omnix® FC-4050 is cleared for use under United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Conditions of Use B through H, in contact with all food types except Food Type VI C, Beverages containing more than 8 percent alcohol.
Omnix® FC-4050 is also cleared for food contact use by European Union regulations. For specific clearances, please contact your Solvay representative.
It processes readily using conventional injection molding machines and methods. Water-cooled molds are suitable for use with this grade.
