Polyamide, also known as nylon, is a form of silk and wool produced mainly through polymerization. Bio-polyamide and specialty polyamide are mixtures of aromatic and aliphatic functionalities, offering high strength and stiffness at elevated temperatures. The bio-polyamides are manufactured from undecanoic acid and sebacic acid derived from castor oil as the most dominant raw material. Owing to its environmental benefits, bio- polyamides are gaining acceptance worldwide. Polyamide 11 and polyamide 12 also known as Nylon 11 and Nylon 12 respectively, are specialty polyamides belonging to the nylon family of polymers. They are generally used in in high-performance applications such as automotive, electrical, oil and gas etc. Moreover, polyamide 6/12 is a long chain polyamide which is manufactured from raw material which includes hexamethylene diamine and dodecanedioic acid (DDDA). The global bio-polyamide and specialty polyamide market has gained remarkable growth owing to high demand for light weight vehicles in automobile and aviation industry. Polyamide-based materials are used in the manufacturing of numerous components in the automotive industry. Their unique properties have increased the opportunity for the substitution of metals in the powertrain, offering several benefits in weight reduction, feature flexibility, and potential for cost reduction. Furthermore, the overall market is also being propelled by growing concern for automotive fuel efficiency and high demand for green solutions. Currently, most prominent trend witnessed by the market is advancement and commercialization of bio-based polyphthalamide. However, the global bio-polyamide and specialty polyamide market is hampered by high specialty polyamide cost and moisture absorption tendency of polyamides resulting in degradation of properties.
