Zytel® HTN is widely used to replace metal parts that must withstand high temperature tolerances (such as engine cooling, handheld devices, and non-halogenated connectors), while reducing cost and weight.
What is HTN material?
Add to cart. Essentium HTN (high-temperature nylon) is a polyamide-based chemistry that has improved mechanical and thermal properties compared to standard nylons. Additionally, it is an easy-to-print, low-warp material that boasts high toughness and wear resistance.
What is Zytel used for?
Zytel is used for a number of different high strength, abrasion, and impact resistant thermoplastic polyamide formulations. The high-performance polyamide resin helps resists aging in high-heat automotive engine parts or hand-held electronics.
Where is Zytel used?
automotive industry
The Zytel HTN material is used in the automotive industry to make engine cooling components such as thermostat housings and water pumps, and to make powertrain components such as charged air coolers, transmission housings, engine oil systems, brake systems, ignition systems and motors.
What is PPA polymer?
Polyphthalamide (aka. PPA, High Performance Polyamide) is a subset of thermoplastic synthetic resins in the polyamide (nylon) family defined as when 55% or more moles of the carboxylic acid portion of the repeating unit in the polymer chain is composed of a combination of terephthalic (TPA) and isophthalic (IPA) acids.
Is Zytel a plastic?
Benefits of Using Zytel Plastics Zytel plastics are available in a broad range of grades and formulations, each of which exhibits unique characteristics that may be better suited to your specific application.
How strong is Zytel?
Formulation Zytel HTN 35% Glass Reinforced Resin, consisting of 35% glass fiber by weight, has a tensile strength of around 30kpsi and a flexural modulus of 1500kpsi under room temperature conditions.
Where is Zytel made?
DuPont Co. has increased production of one of the high-performance, synthetic materials the company makes at its Spruance plant in Chesterfield County. The company has added production of its Zytel HTN product, which is part of its family of nylon products.
What kind of plastic is Zytel?
nylon 66
The Zytel product line is based mostly on nylon 66, but also includes grades based on nylon 6 as a matrix, long chain nylons such as nylon 610 (if based on at least one renewable monomer they are branded Zytel RS), and copolymers including a transparent resin called Zytel 330.
Is PPA semi-crystalline?
PPA used in composites are mostly semi-crystalline because they maintain their properties at Tg, which is not the case of amorphous PPA.
What is TPA plastic?
Description: Thermoplastic Alloy is a very low durometer compound, suitable for use in applications such as weatherstrips, gaskets, etc. The compound exhibits very good compression set, elongation and low temperature properties. Available as a natural colored, colorable, UV stabilized compound.
What is PPA plastic?
