BASF Capron® 8202 HS BK-102 Nylon 6 (Dry)  (discontinued **)
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Nylon (Polyamide PA); Nylon 6 (PA6); Nylon 6, Heat Stabilized
Material Notes: Capron 8202 HS BK-102 is an unfilled, heat stabilized, pigmented black, low viscosity, general purpose nylon 6 exhibiting excellent fluidity for filling thin sections. It possesses the combination of strength, stiffness and toughness properties as well as excellent chemical, thermal and abrasion resistance. The heat stabilizer system extends its retention of properties at elevated temperatures.

Capron 8202 HS BK-102 is generally recommended for applications such as drapery hardware, gears, fittings, furniture casters, bearings, handles, clips and fasteners.

Processing: Max. water content 0.25%. Product is supplied in sealed containers and drying is not required. If drying becomes necessary, a dehumidifying or desiccant dryer operating at 85°C (185 °F). Is recommended. Drying time is dependent on moisture level.

Melt Temperature: 240-280 degC (464-536 degF). Mold Temperature: 80-95 degC (176-203 degF). Injection and Packing Pressure: 35-125 bar (500-1500psi) A mold temperature of 80-95 degC (176-203 degF) is recommended, but temperatures of as low as 10 degC (50 degF) can be used where applicable. Injection pressure controls the filling of the part and should be applied for 90% of ram travel. Packing pressure affects the final part and can be used effectively in controlling sink marks and shrinkage. It should be applied and maintained until the gate area is completely frozen off. Fast fill rates are recommended to insure uniform melt delivery to the cavity and prevent premature freezing.

Capron® is no longer a part of the BASF standard line. The BASF nylon products have been consolidated in the Ultramid ® line.
