DSM Engineering Plastics'Akulon Fuel Lock, a mono-polyamide 6 compound,reduces evaporative emissions from the fuel tanks of non-road, outdoor equipment and vehicles with small, spark-ignitionengines. Akulon Fuel Lock supports sustainable practices by avoidingfluorination, a traditional barrier technology for high-density polyethylene(HDPE) that can pose environmental risks.

The Akulon material for injection and blow moldingapplications provides resistance to permeation from the container, without theneed for additives or post-molding treatments. Translucence allows consumers tovisually determine the fuel level in the tank.

Akulon Fuel Lock solutions' low permeation rates and highimpact resistance down to -40C, provides the abilityto design thinner-wall fuel tanks that reduce weight and material and toutilize standard injection molding and blow molding tools and machinescurrently used for HDPE.
