Zytel® PA | Zytel® LCPA

Zytel® range of polyamides delivers solutions around the globe and across a broad spectrum of end-use industries. Zytel® polyamide resins deliver high-performance benefits ranging from stiffness to heat resistance.

Sustainability at Celanese

The Zytel® LCPA line includes one of the industry’s widest arrays of innovative, renewably sourced (RS) materials. The RSLC grades are partially or entirely derived from non-food biomass. They provide performance properties that enable companies to reduce the use of fossil fuels in polymer feedstock, even in demanding applications.

More broadly, the nylon/polyamide product line contributes to sustainability by enabling OEMs and Tiers to design lighter-weight and longer-lasting products compared to alternatives such as metal or other lower performance polymer materials.
