Nylon Heat Stabilizers
Engineered polymer fibers and molded parts have been used
for years in the commercial and residential carpet industries,
automotive engine accessories, and other markets where durability
and weight are a factor. Supported and non-supported Nylon
6, Nylon 6,6 are currently the polymers of choice for these
applications. To increase the performance of the native material,
polymer manufacturers and compounders introduced additives
to increase resistance to temperature and U.V. degradation.
These additives fall into two distinct chemical classes; Organic
and Inorganic.
For more than 25 years, Shepherd Chemical has manufactured
high purity inorganic salts specifically tailored for nylon
polymer stabilization. These salts can be used individually
or combined in a blend to create the desired performance enhancements.
Shepherd Chemical provides custom blends of Potassium Bromide,
Potassium Iodide, Cuprous Iodides, and a metal stearate binder
as a free flowing powder additive. If dust handling is an
issue, a dustless pelletized concentrate of a desired blend
is offered for ease and safety in handling these materials.
If you are not sure which blend ratio is best for your application,
contact our Specialty Chemical Division technical representative
who can offer one of our standard blends or pelletized concentrates.
Please consider these inorganic salts as a cost effective
replacement for traditional organic heat stabilizer additives.
