- Nylon 6
- Heat Stabilizer
- Natural
- Pellets
- Nylene® BX3WQ662X is a medium viscosity, heat-stabilized nylon 6 resin, specifically designed for high-speed wire production and applications requiring greater flexibility, such as THHN, THWN, and TFFN constructions. This versatile wire jacketing resin provides exceptional performance across various wire and cable applications.
- Meets the requirements of UL 83 for wire jacketing.
- This product possesses higher extractables for a balance of performance properties.
- Shields PVC from impact which causes cracking and breaking and general deterioration of the product.
- Improves the temperature rating of the wire, has good cut through resistance, and high resistance to abrasion.
- Dried to less than 0.15% moisture, with packaging options of 1,800 lb. gaylord boxes or 55 lb. foil-lined, vacuum sealed bags.
