Nylons & Nylatron

Extruded & Cast Nylons

Within the polyamides, commonly referred to as "nylons", we distinguish different types. The most important ones are: PA 6, PA 66, PA 11 and PA 12. The differences in physical properties which exist between these types are mainly determined by the composition and the structure of their molecular chains.

IExtruded & Cast Nylons Main Characteristics

High mechanical strength, stiffness, hardness and toughness (stiffness graph)
Good fatigue resistance
High mechanical damping ability
Good sliding properties (dynamic graph)
Excellent wear resistance (wear resistance graph)
Good machinability

PVC Applications

Bottle mineral water, juice, oil bottle, general food & perfume bottles
Belt industrial
Film agriculture, packaging, toy & household products
Sheet tape, packaging, wallpaper, accessories
Leather clothing, furniture, handbags & automobiles
Hose garden hose & tubes
Wire coating insulation
Injection Moulding shoes, sanders
Tile wall & floor
Plate industrial, building materials

Extruded Nylon Products

Ertalon 6SA (PA 6) natural(white)/black

This material offers an optimal combination of mechanical strength, stiffness, toughness, mechanical damping properties and wear resistance. These properties, together with a favourable electrical insulating ability and a good chemical resistance make Ertalon 6 SA a "general purpose" grade for mechanical construction and maintenance.

Ertalon 66 SA (PA66) natural(cream)/black

Material with a higher mechanical strength, stiffness, heat and wear resistance than Ertalon 6 SA. It also has a better creep resistance but its impact strength and mechanical damping ability are reduced. Well suited for machining on automatic lathes.

Ertalon 4.6 (PA 4.6) (reddish brown)

Compared with the conventional nylons, Ertalon 4.6 (STANYL® ) features a better retention of stiffness and creep resistance over a wide range of temperatures as well as a superior heat ageing resistance. Therefore, applications for Ertalon 4.6 are situated in the "higher temperature area" (80 - 150°C) where stiffness, creep resistance, heat ageing resistance, fatigue strength and wear resistance of PA 6, PA 66, POM and PET fall short.

Its main outlet are in both static and dynamic engineering applications, especially where improved resistance to hot oils and grease is required.

Cast Nylon Productss

Ertalon 6 PLA (PA 6) (natural/black)

Unmodified cast nylon 6 grade exhibiting characteristics which come very close to those of Ertalon 66 SA. It combines high strength, stiffness and hardness with good creep and wear resistance, heat ageing properties and machinability.

Ertalon 6 XAU+ (PA6) (black)

Ertalon 6 XAU+ is a heat stabilised cast nylon grade with a very dense and highly crystalline structure. Compared with conventional extruded or cast nylons, Ertalon 6 XAU+ offers superior heat ageing performance in air (much better resistance to thermal-oxidative degradation), allowing 15 - 30°C higher continuously allowable service temperatures. Ertalon 6 XAU+ is particularly recommended for bearings and other mechanical parts subject to wear which are operating for long periods of time at temperatures over 60°C.

Ertalon LFX (PA6+oil) (green)

This internally lubricated cast nylon 6 is self-lubricating in the real meaning of the word. Ertalon LFX, especially developed for unlubricated, highly loaded and slowly moving parts applications, yields a considerable enlargement of the application possibilities of nylons. This because of its reduced coefficient of friction (up to -50%) and improved wear resistance (up to x 10).
