Engineering Notes.

Nylons can absorb up to 7% (by weight) water under high humidity or submerged in water. This can result in dimensional changes up to 2% and a corresponding reduction of physical properties. Proper design techniques can frequently compensate for this factor.

Product Details.

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