Ascend Performance Materials Vydyne® R540H Nylon 66, 40% Glass Filled  (discontinued **)
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Nylon (Polyamide PA); Nylon 66 (PA66); Nylon 66, 40% Glass Fiber Filled
Material Notes: Vydyne® R540H is general-purpose, heat-stabilized, hydrolysis-resistant, 40% glass-fiber reinforced PA66 resin. Available in natural, it is specifically designed to maximize the retention of physical properties when exposed to anti-freeze solution at elevated temperatures. This product is also lubricated for improved flow and offers superior surface appearance. Glass-reinforced Vydyne resins provide higher hear distortion temperature, resistance to creep and better dimensional stability when compared with unreinforced PA66. These products have good chemical resistance to a broad range of chemicals including gasoline, hydraulic fluids and most solvents. Vydyne R540H is heat-stabilized to minimize oxidative degradation of the polymer when exposed to elevated temperatures in service. This product provides improved retention of physical properties under exposure to ling term heat. Also, Vydyne R540H has excellent knit-line strength and fatigue resistance, which is essential for cycle testing with anti-freeze solutions. Typical Applications/End Uses; Vydyne R540H is successfully used in a wide range of injection-molding engineering applications. Typical parts include automotive clips, radiator and tanks, parts of the air-conditioning and fuel distribution systems; electrical connectors, housings, and bobbins; and industrial applications such as gears, bearing shells, covers and housings.
