NXTamid L.5

Chemical Family: Polyamides

NYCOA NXTamid-L.5 is a specialty tunable nylon copolymer. It offers extremely high flexibility with superior chemical resistance alongside low moisture uptake. It also offers improved processability for extrusion or molding applications with better property resistance to low and high temps when compared to similarly flexible polyamides.

HIGHLIGHTS: The "Long Chain" family of specialty engineered nylons are unique in the performance they offer, and are quite different from polyamide grades that might be more commonly seen in different applications, such as Nylon 6 or Nylon 66. Long Chain nylons are more flexible, have lower moisture absorption, more robust chemical resistance, and other special features that make them unique for high performance applications. While Nylon 11 and Nylon 12 used to be the only available grades of this specialty class of polyamides, NYCOA is excited to announce a new family of long-chain nylons: NXTamid-L.
