NYMAX™ BIO
BIO-BASED POLYAMIDE SOLUTIONS
PROCESSING GUIDE
1 NYMAX BIO
Formulated in glass fiber-filled or unfilled
materials, Nymax™ BIO formulations utilize
between 16 and 47 percent natural filler from
renewable plant-based raw materials, reducing
the carbon footprint value significantly at the
beginning of the product lifecycle.
These highly
engineered formulations deliver comparable
performance to traditional PA66 glass fiber-
filled materials, plus the bio-derived solutions
offer lower warpage and have excellent surface
appearance and colorability.
Regrind is not suggested—glass fiber reinforce material will lose strength
after regrind

5G Fiber Optic Cables
To achieve accessibility in low density areas, providers need cable technology to easily deploy fiber to the home (FTTH) networks.
Fiber-Line™ Fiber Optic Cable solutions enhance the performance and prolong the life of FOC with water blocking yarns, strength members, and ripcords, enabling cable manufacturers to optimize slimmer, stronger, cables at longer aerial spans with lower tension—critical for rural FTTH networks.

PET Types
Clear PET—Clear PET accounted for over 76% of the revenue share in 2020 and
is expected to continue as the market leader.
PET End Uses
Fiber—Fiber accounted for over 44% of
the global revenue share and is used for
clothing, athletic jerseys and accessories,
mattresses, cushions, car seating and
insulation products.
These commitments and mandates will continue to drive the high and
increasing demand for recycled plastic bottles.
