- Nylon 6 is made from a single type of monomer, called caprolactam. Caprolactam’s formula is (CH2)5CONH.
- Nylon 6,6 is made up of two monomers, adipoyl chloride or adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine.
- The strong chemical bond between the two forces gives Nylon 6,6 a more crystalline structure, making it slightly stiffer and better equipped to handle more heat than Nylon 6.
- Nylon 6,6 has a higher melting point and is usually more durable than Nylon 6, so it’s a good choice for high-performing products that must withstand heat or wear and tear.
- Nylon 6 is used in all kinds of products including hammerheads, plastic cutting boards, rope and circuit breakers. One of its greatest strengths is its flexibility,
- which makes it a suitable metal replacement in products such as car parts. It’s also a bit more lustrous than Nylon 66, so it’s more commonly used in items such as radiator grilles, stadium seats or firearm component
