Best Polymers for Next-Gen Home Appliances

Syensqo's specialty polymers are best-positioned for today and tomorrow’s home appliances, as they serve as excellent alternatives to metal or commodity polymers. By switching from metal to high-performance specialty polymers, OEMs can utilize injection molding and other processing methods to create more complex shapes with ease. Our broad portfolio of polymers features tough, lightweight and high-quality surface finish solutions for metal replacement in several of today’s most popular home appliances.

• Amodel® PPA - The family of Amodel® PPA polyamides outperforms standard polyamides with excellent thermal performance at higher end-use temperatures, lower moisture absorption, better dimensional stability and improved fatigue and creep resistance. With reliable strength and stiffness in challenging environments, Amodel® PPA is an excellent choice for durable home appliances.
• Omnix® HPPA - Omnix® HPPA is an optimal solution to bridge the cost-performance gap between PA 6.6 and higher-performing polyamides. This cost-efficient metal alternative delivers good resistance properties and dimensional stability for home appliances that require impressive aesthetics.
• Ixef® PARA - With a unique combination of strength, stiffness and impressive surface finish, Ixef® PARA is an ideal material for aesthetic home appliances. High flow grades of this high-performance polyamide can be used for unique structural components that are thin, rigid and dimensionally stable.
• Ryton® PPS - Ryton® PPS is the ideal polymer for challenging, high-heat environments. This semi-crystalline polymer offers inherent flame retardancy, remarkable thermal stability and exceptionally high modulus and creep resistance for critical components in demanding home appliances.
• KetaSpire® PEEK - As one of the highest-performing thermoplastics, KetaSpire® PEEK replaces metal in the most demanding home applications. This aromatic polyketone offers high surface hardness, best-in-class resistance to fatigue, heat and chemicals, inherent flame retardancy, and exceptional thermal stability for high-quality home appliances.
