BASF Capron® 8260 HS BK-102 40% Mineral-Filled Nylon 6 (Dry) (discontinued **)
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Nylon (Polyamide PA); Nylon 6 (PA6); Nylon 6, 40% Mineral Filled
Material Notes:	Capron 8260 HS BK-102 is a heat stabilized, pigmented black, 40% mineral reinforced nylon 6 injection molding resin. It possesses high stiffness, dimensional stability and heat resistance combined with excellent processability including low warp and resistance to sink-mark formation. It maintains its inherent chemical resistance to greases, oils and hydrocarbons. Capron 8260 HS BK-102 is generally recommended for applications such as marine hardware, brackets, fittings, bobbins, office furniture, appliance components, and power tool housings. ASTM Callout PA220 M40 A9130 KB080 AA002. Data provided by Allied Signal. Capron® is no longer a part of the BASF standard line. The BASF nylon products have been consolidated in the Ultramid ® line.
