PRODUCT INFORMATION

DuPont Zytel 70G50HSLA BK039B


NYLON RESIN
Product Information

Common features of Zytel nylon resin include mechanical and physical properties such as high mechanical strength, excellent balance of stiffness and toughness, good high temperature
performance, good electrical and flammability properties, good abrasion and chemical resistance. In addition, Zytel nylon resins are available in different modified and reinforced grades to
create a wide range of products with tailored properties for specific processes and end-uses. Zytel nylon resin, including most flame retardant grades, offer the ability to be coloured.

The good melt stability of Zytel nylon resin normally enables the recycling of properly handled production waste. If recycling is not possible, DuPont recommends, as the preferred option,
incineration with energy recovery (-31kJ/g of base polymer) in appropriately equipped installations. For disposal, local regulations have to be observed.

Zytel nylon resin typically is used in demanding applications in the automotive, furniture, domestic appliances, sporting goods and construction industry.

Zytel 70G50HSLA BK039B is a 50% glass fiber reinforced, heat stabilised polyamide 66 resin for injection moulding. It has excellent flow
characteristics.
