Description

Nylon 11 CAS NO 25035-04-5 is a high-performance, long-chain polyamide thermoplastic derived from renewable castor oil. This material is valued for its exceptional combination of mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability. It is a critical engineering polymer for manufacturers in demanding sectors such as automotive, industrial, and electronics, where reliability under stress is paramount.

Application

• Automotive Components: Fuel lines, brake hoses, air brake tubing, and quick connectors due to excellent fuel and oil resistance.
• Industrial & Pneumatic Tubing: High-pressure air and hydraulic lines, control cables, and flexible hoses for machinery.
• Powder Coating: Used in fluidized bed and electrostatic coating processes for creating durable, corrosion-resistant finishes on metal parts.
• Electrical & Electronics: Cable jacketing, wire insulation, and connectors requiring good dielectric properties and flame retardancy.
• Consumer Goods: Sporting equipment, brush filaments, and functional components requiring toughness and wear resistance.
• Medical Devices: Components for surgical instruments and equipment housings where biocompatibility and sterilizability are needed.

Quality Control

Our Nylon 11 is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. We provide comprehensive quality assurance, including testing for key parameters such as melt flow index, moisture content, and mechanical properties. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing lot-specific results are available for all shipments to support your quality and regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the original packaging sealed until use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect processing and final properties.
