Nylatron™ MC™ 907/Ertalon™ 6 PLA PA6 is an unmodified cast nylon 6 grade and exhibits characteristics which come very close to those of Ertalon™ 66 SA PA66. It combines high mechanical strength, stiffness and hardness with good resistance to creep, wear, fatigue and heat aging properties. Additionally, this material also displays good sliding properties and machinability, as well as electrical insulation and resistance to gamma and x-ray radiation.
