SWITCHING FROM STEEL TO NYLON CREATES MULTIPLE BENEFITS CASE STUDY: BERGAMID™ NYLON FORMULATIONS Challe nge Accepted. HellermannTyton decided to develop the seat securement part using injection-molded Bergamid resin in a standard black color. Further, the material costs for Bergamid resin are lower than those of bent steel plate.
