Nylon 6 processes at a lower temperature and has a lower mold shrinkage. Some common applications of nylon 6 include: Nylon 6 vs.

Homepage // News Center // Avient Launches Moisture-Resistant Nylon 6 and 6/6 Complēt™ Long Fiber Composites with Enhanced Appearance These formulations feature nylon 6 and 6/6 with delayed moisture absorption, which prolongs the effectiveness of their structural performance in moisture-rich environments. When manufacturers wanted to quell performance concerns by limiting moisture absorption for nylon 6 or 6/6, the only options were less hygroscopic and more costly specialty nylons,” said Eric Wollan, general manager of Avient’s long fiber technologies.

Reclaimed end-of-life fishing nets avoid plastic ocean waste, and are the basis of Complēt R nylon 6 long fiber composites. Creating a positive environmental impact by reducing ocean-bound plastic waste, Complēt R nylon 6 long fiber composites can help OEMs to meet their goals for using materials containing recycled content. Complēt™ R nylon 6 long fiber composites provide stiffness, strength, and toughness performance on par with standard nylon 6 long fiber formulations using virgin resin, giving these materials the structural capability necessary to be used as an alternative to metals.

Nymax / Bergamid formulations are made using both nylon 6 and nylon 6/6 grades to provide a good balance of properties. In addition, nylon 6 offers a lustrous finish while nylon 6/6 is designed for high-temperature performance.  Nylon 6 and Nylon 66

Environmentally Stabilized Nylon 6 and 6/6 Long Fiber Composites  Complēt™ moisture resistant long fiber reinforced nylons, in PA 6 and 6/6 matrices, have slowed moisture uptake, which provides a more stable and predictable mechanical property profile during real world use.    Environmentally stabilized nylon 6 and 6/6 long fiber composites for application intermittently exposed to water high humidity that require consistent structural performance

Nymax™ REC recycled nylon materials feature standard and custom-formulated nylon 66 and nylon 6 grades that contain post-industrial recycled (PIR) content and post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, supporting the circular economy.  Nylon 6 and Nylon 66 Alternatives to Nylon 6,6
