Nylon 6/6
From the world leader in precision polymer extrusions comes an extraordinary line of Polyamide and Polyamide co-polymer Thermoplastic Elastamers derived from nylon families 6/6, 11, and 12.

Nylon 6/6 is the strongest aliphatic nylon, and offers good abrasion resistance when compared to nylon 6. The addition of glass fibre improves stiffness. Better low temperature toughness than Acetal, PBT, or nylon 6. Good fatigue resistance.

The information in the Zeus eNewsletter, website, catalog, and other sources present and discuss generally accepted properties for non-pigmented virgin polymer resins from which ZEUS fabricates its line of extruded products. Actual properties may change due to processing method, resin grade, extruded dimensions, and other variables. It is the end user's responsibility to fully evaluate and test the fitness of the product for their specific application.
