Clear nylons are chemical resistant.A new line of transparent nylons targets applications where polymers such as polycarbonate A category of plastic materials used to make a myriad of products, including CDs and CD-ROMs. and polystyrene polystyrene (pŏl'ēstī`rēn), widely used plastic; it is a polymer of styrene. Polystyrene is a colorless, transparent thermoplastic that softens slightly above 100°C; (212°F;) and becomes a viscous liquid at around 185°C; are not suit able, particularly those involving harsh solvents. Nycotrans resins from Nylon Corp. of America Inc. (Nycoa), Manchester, N.H., reportedly retain their properties after exposure to organic solvents such as gasoline gasoline or petrol, light, volatile mixture of hydrocarbons for use in the internal-combustion engine and as an organic solvent, obtained primarily by fractional distillation and "cracking" of petroleum, but also obtained from natural gas, by , oil, and diesel fuel. These nylon 6 "multipolymers" incorporate three or more monomers. Available in injection and extrusion grades, they are said to exhibit high impact and strong weldability The weldability of a material refers to its ability to be welded. Many metals and thermoplastics can be welded, but some are easier to weld than others. It greatly influences weld quality and is an important factor in choosing which welding process to use. to nylon 6 and 66. They also boast good barrier properties, chemical resistance, and uv stability. Commercial applications include food packaging film, injection molded sight glasses, filter housings, sun and safety glasses, and medical components.
