Description
Extruded Nylon 6.6 offers superior strength and wear resistance. Ideal for various industrial applications where food compliance is essential.
Material Properties
Nylon 6.6, also known as Polyamide 66, provides higher strength, stiffness, and wear resistance compared to Nylon 6. It operates effectively within a temperature range of -30°C to +80°C and is food compliant.
Advantages Over Nylon 6
This material machines and cuts better than Nylon 6, making it suitable for precision applications. Its increased hardness contributes to its performance in low friction environments.
FDA Compliance
Natural Nylon 6.6 Sheet has FDA approval, allowing its use in food production areas, unlike colored variants which contain additives unsuitable for food contact.
Manufacturing Process
Nylon 6.6 Sheets are produced through an extrusion process, ensuring accurate thickness and surface finish. Proper annealing minimizes internal stresses that may occur during production.
