Natural (undyed, unfilled) polyamide is the foundation of our product range. It combines excellent mechanical performance, good chemical resistance and reliable electrical insulation in a single, cost-effective material. Its cream-white colour and broad processing window make it the default choice when no specialised filler is required.
