Lanxess Addonyl® 8108 Nylon Casting Aid
Categories: Other Engineering Material; Additive/Filler for Polymer

Material Notes: Cast Nylon 6, a plastic of high molecular weight, is produced through an anionic polymerization of caprolactam. During the pressureless casting process the monomeric caprolactam melt is poured into the mold and directly polymerized by a specific chemical reaction and then forms a semi-finished product or molding. Addonyl® 8108 is used as an activator during the production of Cast Nylon (PA-6 G). In combination with the catalyst Addonyl® Kat NL and further products from the Addonyl series users can combine various properties and tailor materials specifically to the requirements.

Advantages: Addonyl® 8108 is a liquid activator, which is easy to dose. Addonyl® 8108 and Addonyl® Kat NL enable short production intervals (demolding time under 10 minutes) with low processing temperatures.

Use: The reactivity of the polymerizing melt is influenced by various factors. Lanxess recommends an activator concentration of at least 0.5% by weight. The quantity of the activator to be used, however, decisively depends on the size and form of the casting mold.
