PA6 with high impact resistance and excellent mechanical properties

Nylfor B ® (PA6)

Polyamide 6 Compound
Products
Nylfor B® is an aliphatic polyamide 6 obtained through the polymerisation of caprolactam. The chain chemical structure ensures a high impact resistance and excellent mechanical properties of the material.
The Nylfor B® product family includes a wide range of materials, such as fiberglass reinforced, elastomer modified, heat-stabilised, mineral filled and flame-retarded (UL94-V0).
Taylor-made formulations can also be developed to meet specific market needs.
Nylfor B® is available in many viscosity grades and in a wide range of colours.

Main specifications

Nylfor B® main features are:
  • Excellent mechanical properties (modulus and load)
  • High impact resistance
  • Excellent resistance to organic solvents
  • High wear and fatigue resistance even at high temperatures
  • Easy processability and moulding

Polyammide 6 is a highly hygroscopic material therefore it is necessary a drying phase before processing.

Applications

AUTOMOTIVE

Under-the-hood parts and componenets, outer panels, bearing components

HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES

Casings for small household appliances

ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONIC

ECU components, bulb-holders, structural and covering parts, electrical joints and plugs, fuse-holder terminal boards

SPORT & LEISURE

Parts of ski boots, rollers etc.

Coupling with other polymeric materials

Nylfor B® can be co-moulded with some special grades of the Laprene® range (SEBS based thermoplastic elastomer).

Processing method

The Nylfor B® range includes only grades for injection moulding.

Injection moulding

The following temperature settings are recommended when processing standard materials:
  • Processing temperature 230-260°C
  • Mould temperature 60-80°C
  • Drying 4h@90°C

Recycling

Nylfor® is a fully recyclable material and it can be reused after regrinding. The user shall always verify that the compound obtained by mixing virgin and reground material is suitable for the specific application and that its properties meet the requirements.

Storage

This product should be stored in a covered facility and kept away from moisture and heat
