Xenia Materials, a global player in the research, development, and manufacturing of engineered thermoplastic composites, has officially announced the launch of the new XELAMID™ product series. This new line consists of impact-modified polyamides based on PA11 and PA12.
The XELAMID™ series will make its official global debut at the JEC World composites exhibition in 2026, further expanding Xenia's material portfolio beyond its fiber-reinforced composites.
XELAMID™ is specifically engineered to balance mechanical performance with low density. Utilizing non-filled, impact-modified formulations, it achieves an optimized equilibrium between rigidity, impact resistance, and energy absorption. The series covers multiple performance grades, with some variants offering up to 30% higher elongation at break compared to standard polyamides, and up to 10 times greater impact strength. Selected formulations provide a flexural modulus of up to 600 MPa and a tensile modulus of up to 700 MPa, delivering structural rigidity and stability in demanding applications.

Alfio Agostini, Key Account Manager at the company, stated: "Unlike elastomer-modified materials based on short-chain polyamides like PA6, XELAMID™ is crafted using long-chain polyamides PA11 and PA12. It offers three key advantages: very low moisture absorption, lower density, and high impact resistance, maintaining stable and reliable performance even in low-temperature environments."
Thanks to its excellent balanced mechanical properties, lightweight advantages, and design flexibility, XELAMID™ is highly suitable for applications in sports equipment, consumer goods, and industrial sectors. The product series features a modular design, offering a wide range of choices to help designers and manufacturers tailor material solutions according to specific functional and processing requirements.
