Specialty nylons for compounding & extrusion.


Shakespeare Monofilament monofilament,
n a single strand of untwisted synthetic material such as nylon; used to create surgical sutures.

 in Columbia, S.C., has come out with new nylon 612 and 610 resins for specialty uses. Isocor HG19SC and HG26SI are nylon 612 grades with low moisture pick-up, high dimensional stability dimensional stability,

, and good electrical insulation Electrical insulation

A nonconducting material that provides electric isolation of two parts at different voltages. To accomplish this, an insulator must meet two primary requirements: it must have an electrical resistivity and a dielectric strength
. Grade HG19SC is a low-viscosity resin for making glass-filled and other compounds to be used for molding automotive connectors and lawn/garden parts. HG26SI is a high-viscosity extrusion grade for abrasion-resistant monofilament, cable jacketing, tubing, and film.

Shakespeare also has a new pair of transparent nylon 610 polymers for injection molding injection molding

 and film extrusion. Grades CN30BT and CN30XT (a uv-stable version) have medium viscosity and provide a good balance of clarity and solvent resistance, One developmental application is micro-molded bio-analytical devices used in pharmaceutical, genomic, and other advanced research. That development is in collaboration with Louisiana State University's Center for BioMedular Microsystems in Baton Rouge Baton Rouge (băt`ən rzh) [Fr.,=red stick], city (1990 pop. 219,531), state capital and seat of East Baton Rouge parish, SE La. .
