Nylon Plastics (Polamides)

The nylon family of plastics are identified by the number of carbon atoms in the monomers. Where
two monomers are involved, the polymer will carry two numbers (e.g. nylon 6 / 6). Crystalline nylons
have high tensile strength, flex modulus, impact strength, and abrasive resistance. Several different
types of plastic nylon are on the market, the two most widely used being nylon 6 and 6 / 6. General
purpose nylon molding materials are available for extrusion, injection molding, blow molding,
rotational molding, and (for nylon 6 materials) casting or anionic polymerization. Nylon sheet and film
are also marketed.

Polybutylene (PB) Plastics / PBT

Polybutylene plastic resins are flexible, linear polyolefins offering a unique combination of properties.
They are produced from 1-butene as homopolymers and as copolymers with ethylene. Some of their
important characteristics are: excellent resistance to creep at room and elevated temperatures;
good toughness (high-impact strength, high tear strength, high puncture resistance); and exceptional
resistance to environmental stress cracking. Other important advantages include good moisture
barrier properties, excellent electrical insulation characteristics, and resistance to most chemical
environments.

PBT - Polybutylene terephthalate is sold in the form of filled and reinforced compounds for
engineering applications. Its uses include appliances, automotive, electrical / electronic, materials
handling, and consumer products.

Applications: Most important commercial application for this plastic is in plumbing pipe for
residential and commercial use. Large-diameter polybutylene pipe is used for transporting abrasive
fluids. The material's abrasion resistance also is put to use in sheet form for vessel and chute linings.
