The Amide Advantage: A Story of Speciality, Advancement and Elevation for Rotomoulders

Jake Kelly-Walley

Matrix Polymers

While polyethylene remains the backbone of the rotational moulding industry, many emerging applications demand performance beyond the limits of traditional polyolefins. As markets become more demanding, engineering polymers such as Polyamide 6, 11 and 12 offer rotomoulders the opportunity to compete in high-specification sectors traditionally served by alternative manufacturing processes.

This presentation explores The Amide Advantage, examining how advanced polyamides can unlock new opportunities through superior heat resistance, mechanical strength, chemical resistance and dimensional stability. Attendees will gain practical insight into the unique characteristics of each material, the critical processing considerations required for success, and how moisture management and quality control influence finished part performance.

Supported by real-world case studies, the session will demonstrate how mastering advanced materials enables rotational moulders to expand into high-value applications across clean energy, aerospace, mobility and specialist fuel systems. Discover how moving beyond commodity polymers can open the door to new markets, greater innovation and a stronger competitive advantage.
