Nylene® 826

Chemical Family: Polyamides

Nylene Nylon 6 based copolymer suitable for both blown and cast film coextrusion Lower melting point and is less crystalline than nylon 6 Excellent toughness, chemical resistance, transparency, and low oxygen permeability Films made using Nylene 826 exhibit superior deep draw characteristics Because Nylene 826 is polymerized using a continuous process, it has good lot-to-lot consistency.
