Product Highlights: NYCOA’s NY-FLEX elastomeric line of engineered polyamides includes a variety of chemistries, including random copolymer alloys and polyether block copolymers (PEBA). NY-FLEX grades provide superior flexibility, low material weight, and high-impact toughness in rubber replacement applications.
NY-FLEX® : Nylon Block Copolymers with Polyether: Polyether -block -amide (PEBA) Copolymers are true elastomeric grades that are based on nylon (Polyamide) hard segment and Polyether soft segment. They deliver excellent recovery and shock-absorbing properties. NYCOA offers PEBA grades in a range of hardness values from 45-80 Shore D. Customized grades are also offered with specialized additive packages for improved thermal stability, hydrolysis resistance, UV resistance, etc.
Benefits of NY-FLEX Random Copolymers and Alloys: NY-FLEX Nylon Copolymers and alloys are designed for superior flexibility and toughness at a significant cost advantage versus typical standard block copolymers. They also provide superior temperature stability and flexural modulus as low as 20,000 psi. NYCOA random copolymers are suited for processing via injection molding and extrusion.
