Nylon 6 targets automotive thermoforming.


A new ultra-high-viscosity nylon nylon, synthetic thermoplastic material characterized by strength, elasticity, resistance to abrasion and chemicals, low moisture absorbency, and capacity to be permanently set by heat. After 10 years of research E. I.  6 offers high heat stability and impact strength for thermoforming applications such as automotive under-hood housings and shrouds. Nycoa 4212 HS from Nylon Corp. of America America [for Amerigo Vespucci], the lands of the Western Hemisphere—North America, Central (or Middle) America, and South America. The world map published in 1507 by Martin Waldseemüller is the first known cartographic use of the name.  (Nycoa) Inc., Manchester Manchester, city, England
