Nylene® NX-1440C

Chemical Family: Polyamides

Nylene Medium viscosity, fast cycle molding resin.Crystallization initiators provide fast molding cycles through rapid melt set-up.Parts molded from NX1440 have better dimensional stability at moisture equilibrium than parts molded from conventional nylon.Suitable for such uses as clips and fasteners, bushings, small levers, gears, and window hardware.Optimum processing conditions should provide a melt temperature of 460 - 480°F at the nozzle.
