help EcoPaXX by DSM FAQ

Is EcoPaXX made from discarded fishing nets?

No, that description confuses EcoPaXX with ECONYL regenerated nylon. EcoPaXX is a bio-based PA410 engineering polymer whose renewable carbon content comes largely from castor oil.

Who makes EcoPaXX now that DSM Engineering Materials changed ownership?

EcoPaXX was developed and sold by DSM Engineering Materials. Following the creation of Envalior in 2023, EcoPaXX became part of Envalior's engineering-materials portfolio.

What is EcoPaXX used for?

EcoPaXX is used in demanding molded parts such as automotive components, electrical connectors, and consumer-product housings. Glass-reinforced grades combine stiffness and heat resistance with lower moisture uptake than conventional PA66.

How is EcoPaXX different from nylon 6,6?

EcoPaXX is PA410, made from a four-carbon diamine and a ten-carbon diacid, rather than PA66. Its partially bio-based feedstock and relatively low moisture absorption distinguish it from standard petroleum-based nylon 6,6.
