Nylene® 406
- Chemical Family
- Polyamides
Nylene General purpose, fast cycling molding resin Crystallization initiators provide fast molding cycles through rapid melt set-up Parts molded from 406 have better dimensional stability at moisture equilibrium than parts molded from conventional nylon Optimum processing conditions should provide a melt temperature of 450°F-470°F at the nozzle
