Recycled Nylon Formulations: Nymax™ REC Explore more sustainable materials with nylon 66 and nylon 6 grades that contain post-industrial and post-consumer recycled content

For ASTM G21-15, most polymer compounds also exhibited marginal or no change in fungal growth with the added texture, except for nylon-6; trace growth (rating = 1) was observed on the smooth surface while heavy growth (rating = 4) occurred on the textured sur- face. Control samples (top row) are shown for comparison to samples post-incubation and washing (bottom row) TABLE 1 Summary of ASTM G21 results for initial susceptibility screening of untreated resins/compounds Fungal growth Resin/compound 4 = Heavy growth (61%– 100% coverage, fail) TPE, 6 formulations 3 = Moderate growth (31%–60% coverage, fail) Poly(urethane), 2 formulations 2 = Light growth (11%– 30% coverage, fail) Nylon-6,10, PBT, poly(amide) elastomer, ABS, 3 formulations, reinforced Nylon, 2 formulations 1 = Trace growth (

Use of existing tooling = lower capital costs: API was able to use the same mold originally designed for nylon to run the Gravi-Tech materials, saving the substantial costs of retooling.
