Does the improved flow property have a negative effect on cycle time (especially cooling time)?

No, the improved flow property of the UV/AD/PA series does not have a negative impact on cycle time. In fact, it turns out that the opposite is true: the improved flow properties of our UV/PA series lead to lower cycle times in addition to an optimized surface appearance of the parts. This is due to possible lower processing temperatures and faster injection speeds.

For which applications/markets besides automotive do you see potential for these materials? 

Since the main added value of our new UV/AD/PA series is the combination of exceptional adhesion to nylons and excellent weathering resistance, especially under hot and dry conditions, we see the most interesting field of application besides automotive in the solar industry or other outdoor applications with extreme UV performance requirements.
