Specializes in colorants for ABS, olefins, styrenics, nylons, PC, PVC, PET and various alloys.
Melt blends of aliphatic nylons, especially those in this study, nylon 6, nylon 66, and nylon 12, are miscible (e.g., transparent films, single [T.sub.g]) probably due to the H-bonding induced specific interactions.
The nylons, or aliphatic polyamides, are generated by the implanting amide groups into alkane chains.
The Versaflex OM 6200 Series second generation of TPEs is said to provide a superior bond/overmold to most types of standard and modified nylons. According to the company, the OM 6200 Series was developed to provide an excellent bond across most nylon substrate types, as well as most modified nylons.
Sometimes the fabric is pulled over rubber tubing or bicycle tires; in one piece, nylons are pulled from floor to ceiling into an X configuration recalling attenuated limbs.
Processing Nylons on Blown, Cast And Bi-ax Equipments
The Versaflex OM 6100 Series of nylon overmolding TPEs was developed to provide a superior bond to most types of standard and modified nylons, including heat stabilized, lubricated and impact-modified nylon products, according to the manufacturer.
Demand for more robust plastics is creating new opportunities for radiation-crosslinked nylons, including nylon 6 and 66, which can serve as cost-effective alternatives to higher-cost, high-heat thermoplastics.
Aliphatic polyamides, named nylons, present three basic crystal structures at room temperature according to the differences in the disposition of the amide groups and the methylene concentration in the repeat unit, based on the classification by Kinoshita in 1959 [1].
Preforming can be avoided only if flexible nylons are used and/or the required bends of routing are gentle curves.
In general, this body of literature shows that, under optimized welding pressures, the static weld strength of unreinforced nylons can attain that of the unwelded nylon.
