A moulding material contains to an extent of at least 50 wt % of the combination of the following constituents a) 80 to 97 parts by mass of a polyamide component containing a1) 70 to 100 parts by wt of PA PACMX (wherein X=8 to 18), and a2) 30 to 0 parts by wt of a linear aliphatic polyamide having on average 8 to 12 carbon atoms in the monomer units, wherein the parts by wt sum to 100, and b) 20 to 3 parts by mass of a core-shell modifier which contains the following: b1) a core which contains 60 to 100 wt % of butadiene units and 0 to 40 wt % of styrene units, wherein the core makes up 60 to 95 wt % of the core-shell modifier; and b2) a shell which contains 80 to 100 wt % of methyl methacrylate units and 0 to 20 wt % of modifying monomer units, wherein the shell makes up 5 to 40 wt % of the core-shell modifier, wherein the parts by mass of a) and b) sum to 100.

Tough polyamide moulding material

A composition, containing at least 50% by weight of a polyamide fraction which comprises: a) from 50 to 95 parts by weight of a polyamide having as copolymerized units bis(4-aminocyclohexyl)methane (PACM) and a linear dicarboxylic acid having from 8 to 18 C atoms; and b) from 50 to 5 parts by weight of a linear aliphatic polyamide having an average of from 8 to 12 C atoms in the monomer units, where the sum of the parts by weight of a) and b) is 100 is provided. The composition can be processed to give a moulded article having high transparency, high toughness and high resistance to chemicals, to solvents and to stress cracking.
