Glass reinforced Vydyne resins provide a higher heat distortion temperature, better resistance to creep, higher impact, and better dimensional stability when compared with unreinforced Nylon 66. These products have good chemical resistance to a broad range of chemicals, including many aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons found in most solvents, gasoline, hydraulic fluids, greases, and machine oils.
Vydyne R513H Series resins have tensile strength and modulus properties just below aluminum and zinc and can replace these metals in numerous applications due to an excellent balance of properties. Reduction in production costs, energy consumption, and part weight are key advantages of Vydyne glass reinforced Nylon 66 resins over aluminum and/or zinc die-cast parts.
Vydyne R513H Series are heat stabilized and formulated to minimize the oxidative and thermal degradation of the nylon polymer when exposed to elevated temperatures for extended periods of time. Vydyne R513H provides improved retention of physical properties under exposure to long-term heat. The continuous operating use temperature is 275°F, with short-term peak temperatures as high as 475°F.
