Description
Nylon 6.10 is a semi-crystalline material manufactured from over 60% renewable raw materials, derived from a naturally occurring chemical derivative of castor oil. This innovative material provides an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional non-renewable resources such as oil.
One of the key advantages of Nylon 6.10 is its lower water absorption compared to oil-based Nylon 6, resulting in increased dimensional stability. This characteristic allows the nylon structure to maintain its integrity even in wet conditions. Additionally, Nylon 6.10 features a low density for polyamide and exhibits good cold impact strength. It has a high continuous usage temperature of 100°C and demonstrates excellent chemical resistance to organic solvents.
Typical applications for Nylon 6.10 include:
- Zip fasteners
- Electrical insulators
- Precision parts
- Filaments for brushes, including toothbrushes
If you require machined or finished Nylon components, please inquire for more information.
