Viva Nylons Limited PA6C
- Chemical Family
- Polyamides
Viva Nylons Limited PA6C is the base grade from which all cast nylon materials are created. This unmodified grade of cast nylon 6, produced by an anionic polymerisation casting process, demonstrates similar characteristics to PA66. Cast nylon shapes contain significantly lower stress levels, combined with high strength, good wear resistance result in greater dimensional accuracy when machining.
