NYRIM^®

NYRIM^® is an elastomer-modified AP-Nylon^® produced by Reaction Injection Molding (RIM), rotational molding but also by vacuum infusion of fiber and reactive extrusion.
The stiffness / toughness balance of the elastomeric-modified polyamide 6 block copolymer offers outstanding impact strength, excellent wear resistance and repetitive load (fatigue) endurance at extreme temperatures while combining manufacturing flexibility!

NYRIM^® can be successfully used in a wide range of applications:

• Transportation (e.g. rollers, logistic containers, elevator buckets)
• Heavy duty equipment (e.g. fuel tanks, agro crusher, track pad)
• Construction (e.g. dowels. gutter grate, utility service cover)
• Alpine (e.g. wheel guiding and wheels for snow groomers)
• General (e.g. dentist chair, emergency pole)
  
  

NYRIM® contains usually 10 (NYRIM^® 1000) to 40 % (NYRIM^® 4000) in polymerized elastomer, depending of the specific requirements on properties of the finished part. It can also be selectively reinforced with glass fibers resp. glass mats or filled with minerals.
AP-Nylon^®'s high cristallinity of up to 55 %  yields much improved tensile strength and modulus of elasticity properties as shown below:

NYRIM^® vs. Cast-Nylon

Dry Conditions

NYRIM^®

is an improved cast nylon which offers the largest array of sizes and custom shapes of any thermoplastic. Thanks to its high molecular weight and crystallinity, NYRIM® offers such properties as:

• High fatigue resistance
• High modulus
• Low stress
• Non galling
• Abrasion resistance
• Low coefficient of friction
• Vibration and peening resistance
• Good dimensional stability...
