  • Nylene® 494P
  • Technical Data Sheet
Resin Type:
  • Copolymer
Description:
  • Nylene powders for rotational molding are heat stabilized nylon 6 materials specially formulated for the rotational molding process.
  • Dried to less than 0.20% moisture and packaged in foil-lined drums to eliminate the need for pre-drying
  • Higher heat resistance and melting point.  Not as likely to melt or lose shape if left in the sun.
  • Chemical resistance to aromatic solvents, etc. especially at elevated temperatures
  • Higher impact at room and elevated temperatures
  • Permits a single step process and a single layer material fuel tank.  This will reduce the chances of failure and scrap, which makes it extremely cost competitive
