Applications

Impact modifier for recycled PA6 and nylon 66 including low temperature impact strength.; Compatibilizer for glass filled and plain polyolefin/nylon alloys.; In-situ toughening of PA6 and PA 66 injection molded components.; Toughness acquired is a function of ADNYL® E-179 addition level in the PA6 and PA66 matrix.; Improves processbility of nylon by modifying melt viscosity.; Decreases water absorption and improves dimensional stability of nylon components.

Packaging Information

ADNYL® speciality polymers are supplied in pre-dried form in 25 Kg (55 lbs) PE lined, HD woven sack-laminated paper bags and 750 Kg (1650 lbs) FIBC's.. They should be stored in cool and dry place.

Processing Conditions

ADNYL® E-179 can be added to Polyamides during in-situ injection molding to achieve desired level of toughness.; Maximum processing temperature should not generally exceed 280°C.; At temperatures above 290°C, these speciality polymers can evolve low concentrations of fumes.; If overheated, more extensive decomposition may occur due to exposure of overheated polymers to atmospheric oxygen.; Adequate local ventilation should be provided to remove the fumes from the work area.

Compatible Polymers and Resins
  • Polyamide 6 (PA 6)
  • Polyamide 66 (PA 66)
  • Polyolefins
Plastics and Elastomers Functions
  • Compatibilizer
  • Impact Modifier
Storage and Handling Procedures

ADNYL® E-179 should be stored away from heat, sparks and flame.; It is mildly hygroscopic, though much less than Nylon.; It is not required to be dried prior to processing if taken out from a sealed pack.; In case of material lying exposed to humid environments, it is recommended to be dried at 90-95°C for 2-4 hours depending upon the level of exposure.
