Nylon 6 Benefits

One of the benefits of nylon 6 is its practicality across a wide range of engineering products from 4WD recovery tracks to under bonnet engine components, once conditioned the impact properties are exceptional and if more is required, an impact modifier can be added to the formulation to further boost the properties.

Nylon 6 is widely used in a large range of engineering products from the Automotive sector, building & structural products, too many other internal/external parts where the strength and durability provided by nylon 6 meets the high performance required.

Easily modified with glass fibre or mineral filler which will assist with increased tensile strength and rigidity of the overall product, some examples may be LED light housings, car roof racks and internal garage roller door items. Fans

Alternatively, Impact modified additives allow for nylon 6 parts to absorb impact without damaging the structure of the product, this also increases strength straight out of the moulding tool, products such as 4WD recovery tracks and heavy-duty brackets. PTFE can be used to improve wear and abrasion resistance significantly.

Overall, a versatile material that can provide a good surface finish, easy processing & excellent strength.
