Tecamid®
(Nylon)
View
Typical Property Values
Nylon was the first
engineering resin. It
has been used in applications
ranging from
electronic, marine, and
automotive industries
to fibers used to make
carpet.
Nylon has outstanding
wear resistance and
low frictional properties.
It has very good
temperature, chemical,
and impact properties.
However, nylon's one
weakness is a propensity
to absorb moisture
and thus have poor
dimensional stability.
- Tecamid® 6/6
(Type 6/6 general purpose standard grade nylon. Extruded in natural and
black. (Weather Resistant Black Grade is also available.))
- Tecamid® 6/12
(Type 6/12 nylon. This nylon has lower moisture absorpton rates than
nylon 6/6, hence superior dimensional stability.
)
- Tecamid® ST
(Type 6/6 nylon. Super Tough nylon. Increased impact resistance and
toughness over Tecamid 6/6.
)
- Tecamid® HS
(Type 6/6 nylon. Heat Stabilized nylon. Increased ability to withstand the
negative effects of heat exposure and increased overall service temperature
over Tecamid® 6/6.
)
TECAMID® has an excellent balance of properties which make it an ideal material
for metal replacement in applications such as automotive parts, industrial valves,
railway tie insulators, and other industry uses whose design requirements
include high strength, toughness, and weight reduction.
