NYCOA Launches NXTamid-L Tunable Specialty Nylon as an Alternative to PA12 & PA11
NYCOA, a leader in the nylon industry with over 50 years in Nylon 6 & nylon copolymer production, is proud to announce the launch of a new family of specialty performance nylons as substitutes to Nylon 12 & 11: NYCOA’s NXTamid-L.
Nylon 12 and 11 are members of the ‘long chain’ nylon family. Compared to a more commonly available nylon such as nylon 6, nylon 12 & 11 are more flexible, have lower moisture absorption, withstand higher temperatures (or have higher glass transition temperatures), have more robust chemical resistance (among many more subtle differences). Our NXTamid-L family performs with similar, and in some cases, better properties to the PA 12 & PA 11 products and can be customized and tuned to desired properties.
NXTamid-L – A Tunable Solution, with unique properties and advantages
NxtAmid-L Technology, which is partially bioderived, allows us flexibility in customizing the final polymer performance at the reactor level, controlling features such as; Flexibility, Melting Point, Strength, Chemical Resistance while still maintaining low moisture absorption behavior.
NXTamid-L Technology Includes the ability to tune:
Melting point
Physical properties (Modulus, Tensile and Impact)
Chemical resistance
Moisture resistance
Post-Reactor Customization – Beyond the Tunable Polymer
Our facilities have full compounding capability to fine tune properties for Heat & UV resistance, processability and impact performance, rigidity, density, and more. NYCOA’s compounding capabilities can incorporate fillers, additives for rigidity or increased densification, as well as impact modification or color addition.
