Unique barrier properties

Orgalloy®: unique synergies

● PA matrix: Excellent barrier performance to HCs and apolar components.

● PE phase: Good barrier performance to polar components.

Orgalloy® “alloy-technology”: permeation is lower than blend/mixture of PA6/PE. This is the “nanocomposites” synergetic effect of alloys.
