Description

It is a crystalline polyamide produced by polycondensation of MXDA with adipic acid. Different from Nylon 6 and Nylon 66, Nylon-MXD6 is an aliphatic polyamide containing an aromatic ring in its main chain. Compared with Nylon 6 and Nylon 66, Nylon-MXD6 has the following favorable characteristics:

Greater strength and elastic modulus

High glass-transition temperature

Low water absorption and moisture permeability

Favorable crystallization speed and ease of molding and fabrication

Excellent gas-barrier properties

This material data has been provided by M-Base.

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
