Using TECHNYL® STAR high strength polyamide as a substitute for metal not only reduces weight, but also reveals a new vista of design flexibility to let ideas take shape. From design to delivery, customers benefit from streamlined processes and lower costs, while offering their OEM and end-user customers the quality they expect. 

TECHNYL® STAR’s superior flowability makes the polymer easy to process, with excellent surface aspect, while providing outstanding mechanical performance. This is a big differentiator from the competition, giving manufacturers the ability to take their product innovations into new dimensions.  

The high flow polyamide simplifies the entire production process. Not only do plastics processing tools cost less and last longer than their industrial metal counterparts, but equipment investment is also lower, and designs can be optimized to require fewer raw materials. Moreover, using TECHNYL® STAR to replace metal enables manufacturers to reduce the number of tools and components required for production. Complex shapes can be produced in a single operation, with fewer parts, thus optimizing assembly processes, improving overall quality and speeding time to market. 

TECHNYL® STAR offers a complete array of high impact resistance polyamide metal replacement solutions – from the medium-reinforced TECHNYL® STAR S and AF for superior processing and molding efficiency, to highly-reinforced TECHNYL® STAR SX and AFX for exceptional weight reduction and rigidity.
