VYDYNE Nylon Resins
Dow offers a wide range of polyamide 66 and 66/6 copolymer nylon resins for the injection molding market under the trade name VYDYNE** nylon resins. These products offer a well-balanced combination of engineering properties characterized by high strength, rigidity, good toughness, and good surface lubricity and abrasion resistance. VYDYNE nylon resins possess the chemical resistance typical of nylon to many chemicals, solvents, gasoline, and machine and motor oils.

Product range includes general purpose, ignition resistant, impact modified, mineral reinforced, and glass fiber reinforced resins. VYDYNE nylon resins are available to meet most industry, regulatory, and OEM specifications.
