Zytel
Encyclopedia
Zytel is a trademark owned by DuPont
and used for a number of different high strength, abrasion and impact resistant thermoplastic
polyamide
formulations of the family more commonly known as nylon
, often with varying degrees of fiberglass
, from 13% to 60%, added in for additional stiffness.
Some of the grades are homopolymer nylon66, other copolymers with nylon6 repeat unit
s, and further grades involving rubber toughening
are available. Many grades are based on Polyphthalamide
(PPA), another common polyamide.
of around 30kpsi and a flexural modulus
of 1500kpsi under room temperature conditions. Zytel also offers good chemical resistance to common chemicals such as motor oil
, transmission fluid, and methanol
, and shows little thermal expansion
. Other additives or treatments may be used to increase toughness, wear resistance, and temperature tolerance.
•Zytel HTN51 – Retains the highest stiffness and strength properties compared with other PPAs despite high temperatures and chemical exposure.
