Cast Nylons Nycast® 6PA-MoS2 Nylon 6
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Nylon (Polyamide PA); Nylon 6 (PA6); Nylon 6, Cast
Material Notes:	NYCAST® 6PA-MoS2 is a molybdenum disulphide filled Type 6 cast nylon. Finely divided MoS2 particles are suspended in the melt during polymerization. This gives the NYCAST® 6PA-MoS2 products improved compression strength over the regular Nycast 6PA products. Data provided by the manufacturer, Cast Nylons Limited. The data below are average values presented for comparison purposes. Actual property values may differ.
Key Words:	Polyamide 6
