Technical Information

Product Description:

One of the first engineering thermoplastics, Polyamide, also known as Nylon, has been available for more than 50 years. Companies have been active in the development of nylon and its uses for nearly the entire past 50 year period. An inherently tough, semi-crystalline material, which is white in color, nylon is the most common engineering thermoplastic in use today. The Polyamide Product line encompasses a full range of individual grades based on Nylon 6, and Nylon 6/6. From un-reinforced grades of Nylon 6 to the enhanced mechanical strength and toughness of a glass fiber reinforced, impact modified grade of nylon 6,6 with 33% glass fibre KASTRADE combines the science behind the polyamide molecule with compounding innovation to deliver unparalleled quality and value.

Nylon Properties :

The multi-functional application of nylon is due to its extensive combination of properties including:

The multi-functional application of nylon is due to its extensive combination of properties -

  • Toughness at high and low temperatures
  • Abrasion and wear resistance
  • Chemical resistance to may oils, organic solvents, and gasoline impact and fatigue resistance
  • Impact and fatigue resistance
  • Stiffness and retention of properties at elevated temperatures
  • Excellent tensile strength
  • Outstanding weather-ability
  • Exceptional heat resistance
  • Excellent flow properties
  • Good impact properties

Nylons come in a variety of types, each having its own unique combination of properties. These properties can be enhanced by the use of additives such as glass fiber, mineral fillers, flame retardants, toughening agents, and other chemicals.


POPULAR GRADES OF NYLON :

NYLON 6

Nylon 6 is produced by the poly-condensation of caprolactam. These could be glass fiber reinforced and mineral filled grades. Nylon 6 product range includes:

  • Un-reinforced grades for injection molding and extrusion
  • Glass fiber reinforced
  • Hybrid glass/mineral
  • Mineral filled
  • Flame retardant
  • Impact modified (glass reinforced and un-reinforced).

This wide assortment of grades means that a standard grade already exists for most applications.

Nylon 6 materials offer the excellent mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance properties inherent to nylons, along with improved toughness, elongation, and optimal surface appearance.

NYLON 6/6

Adipic Acid and Hexa-methylene-diamine are poly-condensated to produce Nylon 6/6 polymer. Nylon 6/6 is well established in the automotive and electrical/electronics markets and has been in use for over 50 years. The material maintains high thermal and mechanical properties in combination with good toughness and process-ability. In comparison to Nylon 6, Nylon 6/6 offers higher short and long term temperature resistance, improved electrical properties, and slightly higher mechanical properties. It does not demonstrate the impact resistance of nylon 6 or the surface appearance, in most applications.

Companies offers nylon 6/6 in a wide variety of compounded forms, with glass fiber, mineral, flame retardants, and impact modifiers.

FIBER REINFORCED POLYAMIDE RESIN

In general, skin irritation has not been produced in human patch tests with this Resin. However, a small percentage of subjects may respond to prolonged contact with redness of skin. Significant skin permeation, and systemic toxicity, after contact appears unlikely. There are no reports of human sensitization.

If particles of Polyamide Strip contact the eye, mechanical irritation with tearing, pain or blurred vision may result.
