BASF Capron® BG90 Nylon 6 (Dry)  (discontinued **)
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Nylon (Polyamide PA); Nylon 6 (PA6); Nylon 6, Unreinforced

Material Notes: Capron BG90 is an unfilled PA6 designed for improved low temperature drop weight impact. It possesses the combination of strength, stiffness and toughness associated with PA6 as well as excellent heat, chemical and abrasion resistance and improved sink mark resistance. It is available in pigmented versions.

Capron BG90 is generally recommended for applications such as power tool housings and mechanical components requiring improved impact.

Processing: Max. water content 0.25%. Product is supplied in sealed containers and drying is not required. If drying becomes necessary, a dehumidifying or desiccant dryer operating at 85°C (185 °F). Is recommended. Drying time is dependent on moisture level.

Melt Temperature: 240-280 degC (464-536 degF). Mold Temperature: 80-95 degC (176-203 degF). Injection and Packing Pressure: 35-125 bar (500-1500psi) A mold temperature of 80-95 degC (176-203 degF) is recommended, but temperatures of as low as 10 degC (50 degF) can be used where applicable. Injection pressure controls the filling of the part and should be applied for 90% of ram travel. Packing pressure affects the final part and can be used effectively in controlling sink marks and shrinkage. It should be applied and maintained until the gate area is completely frozen off. Fast fill rates are recommended to insure uniform melt delivery to the cavity and prevent premature freezing.

Capron® is no longer a part of the BASF standard line. The BASF nylon products have been consolidated in the Ultramid ® line.
