Nylacast Aquanyl 612

Aquanyl 612 is a copolymer of nylon 6 and nylon 12 produced

via the anionic polymerization process using the monomer's

of caprolactam and laurinlactam.

Laurinlactam has a similar effect to a plasticizer, but being

a copolymer does not suffer the "leeching out" problems of

many plasticisers'. The aim is to impart a greater degree

of resilience to the material, for which purpose the co-

polymerisation method is very successful.

Aquanyl 612 is employed where additional resilience is a

specific requirement for the application, for instance in

the ball valve industry where the application of valve seat

seals benefits greatly from this material. In addition due

to its copolymer make up with nylon 12 the product has a

lower moisture uptake than cast nylon providing the obvious

benefit of improved dimensional stability.
