Description

General description

Nylon 6/6 is a thermoplastic material with good mechanical properties like elastic modulus (~21 MPa) and peak stress (~6.5 MPa). It also has good thermal stability and flexibility that makes it useful in the packaging of food items.

Application

Nylon 6/6 can be used as nanofibers for the fabrication of support materials for osmosis membranes. It can also be used in the formation of the nanofibrous membranes as separators in lithium-ion batteries.

Features and Benefits

Impact resistant thermoplastic polyamide.
Stiff and strong over a wide range of temperatures, excellent toughness and chemical and abrasion resistance. Attacked by strong acids and strong bases at elevated temperatures. Oxidized by chlorine and hydrogen peroxide.

Other Notes

No lubricant added.
