Monofilament
NYCOA NYCOSIX nylon 6 and NYCOADAPT copolymers have won wide acceptance for their use in monofilament applications due to their tensile strength, elongation, and viscosity. These resins come in a range of viscosities and can be tailored to improve processability in high-speed extrusion applications. NYCOA works with its customers to deliver materials with rheology that enhance processability and gives the optimum balance of mechanical properties for most monofilament applications.
Sample Monofilament Grades of NYCOA Materials
NYCOA 567
A high-strength extrusion grade which offers superior abrasion resistance, ductility, and toughness. It has been successfully used in high-tension fishing line and high-strength commercial lawn and garden trimmer lines.
NYCOA 2061
This nylon copolymer features outstanding toughness and flexibility when compared to conventional nylon 6 grades. Typical applications include premium lawn and garden trimmer lines, industrial bristles (paint brushes), and premium fishing lines.
NYCOA 2237
A nylon copolymer that exhibits excellent transparency. It was developed specifically for parts requiring transparency in thicknesses up to 5 mm, while retaining the properties and chemical resistance inherent in nylon 6. Extrusion applications for NYCOA 2237 include high-end transparent fishing lines, tubing, transparent sheets, and decorative films for sports and automotive uses.
