Nylene® 474

Chemical Family
Polyamides

Nylene Nylene 474 is a nylon 6 specifically designed for use in rotational molding processes. Nylene 474 is typically used for rotationally molded parts that require high heat resistance, low permeability of hydrocarbons, or low creep under load. 474 is available in both pellet and powder form to maximize surface appearance and minimize porosity. Physical properties listed for Nylene 474 are for standard injection molded specimens.
