NYLON 6/6 IMPACT MODIFIED SUPERTOUGH® | ||||
ZYTEL® 801 NC010 SUPERTOUGH® | ||||
Dupont Engineering Polymers / Supertough Nylon 6/6 | ||||
Nylon
6/6 impact modified has the advantage of very high impact strength at
low temperatures and enhanced resistance to heat distortion over
general purpose nylon 6/6. Impact modified 6/6 nylon is off white in color. |
