Royal DSM introduces its EcoPaXX polyamide for drinking water-contact applications, offering a high-performance, lead-free option for applications such as faucet mixing valves. This product yields improved torque and bending strength, even after extended exposure to boiling water. It absorbs 30-percent less water and offers superior chemical resistance, which is especially important when in contact with chlorinated water. The product has passed more than one million lifetime cycles testing at varying water temperatures and fully complies with all major drinking water certifications, such as NSF-61 and KTW.
