Nylon elastomer 'stretches' Nylon 6.Nylon Corp. of America (Nycoa), Manchester, N.H., has introduced one of the first nylon TPEs that offers all of the thermal and mechanical properties of nylon 6 along with a high degree of flexibility. Long-chain flexible monomers are copolymerized with nylon 6 to make the new resin. The proprietary Nycolastic copolymer copolymer: see polymer. (previously called Nycoflex) boasts high impact, abrasion abrasion /abra·sion/ (ah-bra´zhun) 1. a rubbing or scraping off through unusual or abnormal action; see also planing. 2. a rubbed or scraped area on skin or mucous membrane. , and chemical resistance. Six grades range from 13,000 to 100,000 psi flexural flexural pertaining to the flexure of a joint. flexural deformity fixation of joints in flexion. In the newborn called contracted calves or foals. modulus See modulo. . They are targeted for soft-touch overmolding applications such as tool handles and footwear, as well as extruded tubing and cable jacketing. Nycolastic bonds to other nylons, which facilitates overmolding and recycling. It is priced competitively vs. TPUs and other high-end TPEs. (For more properties visit www.ptonline.com/mat_zone.)
