Abstract:
Disclosed is a polyamide composition including at least one semi-aromatic copolyamide, said semi-aromatic copolyamide consisting essentially of about 25 to about 55 mole percent repeat units of the formula —C(O)(CH2)mC(O)NHCH2ArCH2NH— (I) and about 45 to about 75 mole percent repeat units of the formula —C(O)(CH2)mC(O)NH(CH2)nNH— (II) wherein m is 8, 10, and/or 12, n is 6, 10 and/or 12 and Ar is a meta-substituted benzene ring; and said polyamide has a melting point equal to or less than 225° C.; and 0.25 to 20 weight percent of one or more polyhydroxy polymer(s) having a number average molecular weight of at least 2000 and selected from the group consisting of ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymer and poly(vinyl alcohol). Also disclosed are molded or extruded articles including the polyamide composition.
Abstract:
Polyamides made from 1,6-hexanediamine, and the dicarboxylic acids 1,10-decandioic acid and/or 1,12-dodecanedioic acid, and terephthalic acid in specified proportions are particularly resistant to salt stressed (induced) corrosion cracking. This makes them particularly useful as vehicular parts which may be exposed to salts. Particularly when these polyamides contain tougheners and/or plasticizers they are especially useful for hoses and tubes.

Also disclosed are molded or extruded articles including the polyamide composition.
Abstract:
Polyamides made from 1,6-hexanediamine, and the dicarboxylic acids 1,10-decandioic acid, 1,12-dodecanedioic acid, or 1,14-tetradecanedioic acid and terephthalic acid in specified proportions are particularly resistant to salt stressed (induced) corrosion cracking. This makes them particularly useful as vehicular parts which may be exposed to salts. Particularly when these polyamides contain tougheners and/or plasticizers they are especially useful for hoses and tubes.
Abstract:
Multi-layered co-extruded tubes are provided that include an outer layer including a first semiaromatic semicrystalline polyamide having a melt temperature of about 240° C. to 280° C., and a thermal stabilizer; and an inner layer including a second semiaromatic semicrystalline polyamide having a glass transition equal to or greater than 100° C.
