Why ALTECH® IQ Nylon 66

Why ALTECH® IQ Nylon 66

ALTECH® IQ Nylon 66 is ideal for projects with tight budgets and high material demands. It provides a smart balance between price and performance, with MOCOM's technical expertise ensuring quality consistency even when using optimized raw materials. These compounds are especially suited for manufacturers seeking PA66 properties—like superior thermal stability and wear resistance—at a more economical price point.

Characteristics and Properties

Designed with practical applications in mind, ALTECH® IQ Nylon 66 is engineered to deliver core benefits where full-featured, high-spec materials aren't required. Key characteristics and properties include:​

  • Cost Efficiency with Confidence: Designed for cost-sensitive environments without sacrificing reliability for moderate load and thermal exposure conditions.
  • Inherent PA66 Heat Resistance: Withstands higher temperature ranges than Nylon 6, making it ideal for functional parts near engines, motors, or heated surfaces.
  • Chemical Compatibility: Maintains performance when exposed to oils, automotive fluids, coolants, and cleaning agents common in industrial and mobility applications.
  • Toughness and Wear Resistance: Offers good surface durability and fatigue resistance for parts that experience vibration, movement, or mild abrasion.
  • Stable Processing Window: Optimized for injection molding with smooth flow behavior and moldability for consistent part quality.
