Nylon 66 Polymer – Step Reaction Polymerization

Nylon-66 is a polyamide fibre which is manufactured by a process that involves step growth polymerization and condensation polymerization. The generic term used to define long chain synthetic polyamides is Nylon. One of the key members from the group of poly-condensation products of acids and diamines, Nylon-66 has great abrasion resistance, strength andresistance towards heat, water and chemicals. When compared with Nylon 6, Nylon-66 is a superior version due to its higher melting point, greater dimensional stability and a more ...

A Practical Guide to choosing the Best Engineering Thermoplastics

With a growing demand for plastic materials in different applications, engineering thermoplastics are developed to offer high performance in heat resistance, fire retardancy, mechanical strength or chemical resistance. Generally, engineering thermoplastics are known to exhibit heat resistance at high temperatures beyond 100 degree Celsius and also offers good flame retardant properties. Different varieties of engineering thermoplastics can be created by blending two or more resins depending on the required properties. Thermoplastics are known to provide a cost effective and corrosion ...
