Elastomeric Specialty Thermoplastic Polyamide
NYCOA's NY-FLEX line offers elastomeric polyamides with various chemicals, including random copolymers and polyether block copolymers (PEBA). Ideal for rubber replacement, these materials combine superior flexibility, low weight and high impact resistance.
Advantages of NY-Flex
Superior Flexibility
Lightweight
High Impact Resistance
NY-FLEX® : Nylon block copolymers with polyether
PEBA copolymers combine hard polyamide segments with soft polyether segments, offering excellent recovery and shock absorption. Available in harnesses of 45-80 Shore D, these grades can be customized with additives to improve thermal stability, hydrolysis resistance and UV protection.
These elastomeric grades are used in sports and leisure, athletic shoes, ski boot components, and technical films.
Grades Available:
-
Shore D80
-
Shore D72
-
Shore D63
Copolymers and alloys
NYCOA Copolymers and alloys are designed for superior flexibility and toughness at a significant cost advantage versus typical standard block copolymers. They also provide superior temperature stability and flexural modulus as low as 20,000 psi. NYCOA copolymers are suited for processing via injection molding and extrusion. Targeted applications include footwear & sporting equipment, mandrels for rubber hose construction, hook and loop fasteners, 3D printing filament, and multi/monolayer tubing (paint spray hose, air brake, and pneumatic tubing).
