Extraflexible Altylon Nylon Tube

Extraflexible Altylon (Nylon 6.10 tubing)

Extraflexible Altylon nylon tubing is a true alternative to crude oil based engineering plastics.

ALTX is manufactured from Nylon 6.10, 60% of which is produced from the seeds of the castor oil plant, offering the optimum blend of performance, availability and sustainability.

It answers the increasing demand for renewably sourced polymers, with high technical performance that can be used for critical polyamide applications.

Applications

  • Pneumatic controls
  • Instrumentation systems
  • Fuel and oil lines
  • Industrial robotics
  • Compressed air
  • Paint spray & solvent lines

Features & Benefits

  • Lower density, lower moisture absorption, better zinc chloride resistance and better glycol resistance than PA6 and PA66
  • Better thermal resistance & higher tensile strength at break than PA11 and PA12
  • Designed for demanding applications
  • UV Stabalized

Chemical Resistance

Altylon is resistant to most:

  • Solvents
  • Alkalis
  • Oils & Greases
  • Petroleum products
  • Fungi & moulds
  • Dilute acids (mineral & organic)
