Innovation for Industrial Design

Miniaturization, connectivity and sustainability are the key challenges of modern design. Sectors such as transportation, electrical and electronic, e-mobility and automation require materials capable of withstanding high temperatures, mechanical stress and chemically aggressive environments, without compromising processability or costs.

LATI’s answer: the new LARAMID T

To meet these requirements, LATI expands the LARAMID family with a new polymer: PA9T, an aromatic polyamide that combines thermal resistance, dimensional stability and excellent mechanical properties.
The LARAMID T series is designed for technical applications requiring robust, precise and reliable materials even beyond 160°C continuous use.

Pa9t Properties

The particular molecular structure of PA9T reduces hygroscopicity, increasing resilience, flexibility and dimensional stability compared to other PPAs.
This makes it ideal for complex, thin components with tight tolerances, ensuring:

  • Minimal moisture absorption (<0.5%)

  • Excellent thermal and mechanical stability

  • Superior aesthetic finish and high molding precision

Mechanical Strength and Durability

LARAMID T compounds offer high elastic modulus and tensile strength values, while maintaining surprising toughness.
Versions reinforced with glass fiber (up to 60%) and carbon fiber (up to 40%) guarantee consistent performance even under extreme conditions of fatigue, creep and vibrations.

Perfect for Challenging Environments

Thanks to hydrolysis resistance and low hygroscopicity, LARAMID T compounds maintain unchanged performance even in contact with hot water, steam and saline solutions.
PA9T therefore offers an excellent alternative to PPS in complex industrial contexts or high humidity environments, such as automotive under-the-hood or power management applications.

Precise Molding and High Aesthetics

LARAMID T is easily processed using standard PPA molding techniques.
Thanks to high flowability and controlled shrinkage, it enables the production of precise parts with thin walls, dimensional stability and excellent surface finish, reducing processing time and costs.

The LATI Range Based on Pa9t

The LARAMID T line includes:

  • LARAMID T G/30–G/60: glass fiber reinforced, for structural applications and metal replacement.

  • LARAMID T K/35–K/40HM: with high toughness or high modulus carbon fiber, conductive and self-lubricating.

  • LARAMID T G/30-V0HF1: flame retardant, halogen and red phosphorus free, UL94 V0 certified, perfect for appliances, energy and electric mobility.

  • Specials: thermally conductive LATICONTHER 57T and self-lubricating LATILUB 57T versions.
