The new generation of polyamide 6,6 compounds developed by Teknor Apex overcomes the cycle time constraints of the previous major grades and enables fasteners and similar injection molding parts to meet the same product performance while increasing productivity and plant productivity Claim.
The new Chemlon® 102HI BK001 is the first compound in the new nylon family of fasteners that offers the same performance characteristics as the existing mainline Chemlon 104H but at the gate cold test of Teknor Apex, The Chemlon 102HI BK001 achieves a 15% improvement over the industry benchmark for achieving constant weight, with no impact on surface aesthetics during demolding.
Chemlon 102HI BK001 showed a higher crystallization rate in a commercial production using a high-cavity-count mold by a customer. After a long period of operation, the performance of this new material was demonstrated to continue to outperform the competition Product, said Brian Rickard, director of strategy and business development at ETP for Teknor Apex, a group of customers who reported that after switching to this material, their parts production efficiency increased 9%.
'Many of our customers have very tight capacity,' said Mr. Rickard. 'This new product will allow them to use existing equipment to increase their production capacity, which will reduce overtime or turn the work previously offered to contract molders into As a result, it is able to provide its customers with competitive cost advantages.
