Applications

• NYCOADAPT 2237 is Nylon copolymer resin that exhibits excellent transparency and good barrier properties. The resin was developed especially for applications requiring transparency in thickness up to 5 mm, while retaining the properties and chemical resistance inherent to nylon 6.
• NYCOADAPT 2237 has been specifically designed to offer easy processability. It can be processed on conventional extrusion and injection equipment designed to process standard grades of nylon.
• Typical injection molding applications include sight glasses, chemical splash goggles, fashion eyeglass frames, high-voltage switch casings, filter housings, pump casings, flow meters, liquid-level indicators, and filter bowls for gas.
• Typical extrusion applications include high-end transparent fishing lines, tubing, transparent sheets, and decorative films for sports and automotive applications.
