Typical Properties and Grades
MX Nylon has many properties that are superior to other conventional polyamide resins and to other polymers.
- Higher tensile and flexural strength and modulus
- Higher glass transition temperature
- Lower water absorption speed
- Excellent gas barrier properties against oxygen, carbon dioxide and other gasses.
Particularly, the properties of higher physical strength, modulus, and glass transition temperature and superior gas barrier properties make MX Nylon well-suited for engineering plastics for automotive applications as well as food packaging – where mitigation of gas permeability is essential.
