Zytel® Product Range
Zytel® PA
The foundation of our nylon offerings, Zytel® PA includes PA6, PA6.6, and PA6.6/6 grades. Available in various modifications such as glass-reinforced, heat-stabilized, toughened, super-toughened, high viscosity, and nucleated options, these materials are designed to meet diverse application needs.
Zytel® HTN
Zytel® HTN is a family of cost-effective, high-performance polyamides that help reduce weight while improving strength, durability, and thermal performance. These materials also simplify processing, making them ideal for a range of applications.
Zytel® Plus
Incorporating SHIELD technology, Zytel® Plus materials are engineered to withstand prolonged exposure to heat and chemicals. The unique polymer modifications and performance-enhancing additives ensure exceptional reliability in demanding environments.
Zytel® RS
Zytel® RS features nylon materials with up to 65% renewable content sourced from non-food crops that require minimal maintenance to grow. These sustainable solutions are perfect for applications where environmental considerations are a priority.
Zytel® LCP
The Zytel® LCP portfolio consists of long-chain polyamides, known for their excellent thermal, flexible, chemical, and hydrolysis resistance. The longer polymer chains reduce hydrogen bonding, resulting in increased flexibility and lower moisture absorption.
Minlon®
Minlon® is a mineral and glass-reinforced nylon resin that balances strength and rigidity while minimizing warpage. These properties make it suitable for a variety of demanding applications.
