Alternatives to Nylon 6,6 Nylon Solutions Engineered Thermoplastics (Chinese) Nylon Solutions Engineered Thermoplastics (English)

The PPA-based formulations offer decreased moisture absorption compared to nylon 66 (PA66), helping to improve durability and long- term performance.

The wheel forks utilize a long carbon fiber-reinforced nylon 6/6 composite, while the wheel hub comprises long carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane.

BENEFITS • High additive loading for optimal UV stabilization • Solutions available for a large number of injection molded polymers including PP, PE, PS, HIPS, ABS, SAN, PA (nylon), PBT, Co-PET, PC, POM and TPU • Can be combined with colors and other additives in Smartbatch™ solutions • Formulations can be customized to meet specific regulatory compliance, e.g., EU and US food contact, toy, UL 94 recognition PRODUCT BULLETIN Copyright © 2023, Avient Corporation.
