Our long fiber reinforced Complēt™ moisture resistant nylons, in PA 6 and 6/6 matrices, moderate performance degradation using environmental stabilization. A Complēt moisture resistant nylon 6/6 long glass fiber composite performed similarly to a specialty PA 6/12 material at time intervals equivalent to short-term water exposure and noticeably better than a standard PA 6/6 formulation.
