Nylon (PA) Injection Molding

PA66 offers 20-30% higher strength, stiffness, and heat resistance (HDT 260°C vs 190°C) but is more difficult to process. PA6 is more impact resistant, easier to flow, and better for thin walls. PA66 is preferred for automotive under-hood; PA6 for consumer products and gears.

Nylon absorbs 1-3% moisture, causing dimensional changes and property shifts. Dried nylon (0.1% moisture) is stiff and strong; conditioned nylon (2% moisture) is tougher but softer. We recommend conditioning parts to end-use environment before final dimensioning for critical applications.

Recommended wall thickness is 1.5-3.0mm for nylon. PA6 flows well in thin sections (0.8mm minimum). Thicker walls increase cycle time and risk voids. Glass-filled nylon requires uniform wall thickness to prevent fiber orientation issues and warpage.

Glass fiber increases tensile strength (up to 200% improvement), stiffness (2-3x), and heat resistance (HDT +50-80°C). However, it increases anisotropy (directional properties), reduces impact strength, and increases mold wear. We optimize glass content based on your requirements.

We source from BASF (Ultramid), DuPont (Zytel), Ascend (Vydyne), and DOMO (Technyl). All automotive-grade materials with full traceability. Glass-filled and specialty grades from certified suppliers. Can work with your preferred supplier.

Prototype molds: 7-15 days. Production molds: 3-5 weeks. Production parts: 2-3 weeks. Nylon requires careful drying which adds process time. Glass-filled molds may require hardened steel for longevity. Rush services available.
