Unitika LTD. sells two kinds of layered silicate nanocomposites: Polylactide and Polyamide6. We have sold Polyamide6 layered silicate nanocomposite for over 20 years and just started selling Polylactide layered silicate nanocomposite recently. Polyamide6 nanocomposite is produced by polymerization method. On the other hand, Polylactide nanocomposite is produced by compound method. Polyamide6 nanocomposite is used extensively for the chassis and housing of many kinds of structure, such as engine covers of automobiles, because of it's excellent properties: relatively lower density, high mechanical strength and modulus, high heat resistance, gas-barrier properties, etc. I will explain about the application field and technical properties of these two kinds of nanocomposites.
