Solution Overview

Problem

Existing polyamide resin compositions fail to simultaneously achieve excellent gas barrier property and impact resistance, particularly at low temperatures, making them unsuitable for use as inner liners in gas storage containers.

Innovation Solution

A polyamide resin composition comprising specific ratios of polyamide resin, thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPEE), impact modifier, and nucleating agent, which includes a range of 0.5 to 20 parts by weight of TPEE, 11 to 34 parts by weight of impact modifier, and 0 to 3 parts by weight of nucleating agent, enhancing both gas barrier and impact resistance.
