These characteristics offer
manufacturers a high-performing, cost-effective and
more eco-conscious alternative to nylon (PA66 and
PA6) and acetal (POM).
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Inherently low COF
• Excellent wear resistance
• Excellent chemical resistance
• Low moisture uptake
• Excellent dimensional stability
• Cost-effective
• Eco-conscious alternative to PA66,
PA6 and POM
MARKETS & APPLICATIONS
These materials are ideal for use in applications
requiring lubricated solutions, as the formulations
have improved wear, chemical, and hydrolysis
resistance over nylons (PA6 or PA66).

These nylon formulations contain 100 percent PCR resin, and are available in both PA6 and PA66 grades with various levels of glass fiber and mineral reinforcements.
TPEs, as well as recycled nylon 6 and 66, are commercially available in North America.
