NXTamid L: Your Nylon 12 and 11 Substitute

NYCOA’s New Polymer Family Presents Wide Applications and Industry-Leading Performance as an Alternative to PA11 and PA12

When nylon applications demand special performance properties such as low moisture absorption, high chemical resistance, greater flexibility, and highly processable thermal properties, the plastics world has traditionally turned to “Long Chain” Nylons - nylon 1010, nylon 1012, nylon 11 and nylon 12. These resins are unique in the performance they offer and are quite different from more commonly seen nylons such as Nylon 6 or Nylon 66.

Long Chain Nylons such as Nylon 11 and Nylon 12 have also faced limitations — supply can be limited and is easily disrupted, domestic production is limited, and these nylons have limited options for customizability. To broaden the toolkit of these high-value nylons, NYCOA is excited to introduce NXTamid L.

NXTamid L is a product family that meets or exceeds the performance of Nylon 12 and Nylon 11 in many applications, and offers a large range of options for customization at NYCOA - customization of the base polymer itself, as well as through custom compounding to incorporate high performance additives.

  • NXTamid Polymer Performance Adapts to Meet Your Needs as an innovative alternative to long-chain nylons such as Nylon 12 and Nylon 11.

    • Tunable melting point

    • Tailored Physical Performance (Modulus, Tensile and Impact)

    • Chemical Resistance

    • Moisture resistance

  • NXTamid L nylons meet or exceed common long-chain nylons in moisture resistance, chemical resistance, and performance in a wide range of applications.

    NXTamid L encompass bio-derived features, offering solutions that also incorporate bio-based best practices.

  • NYCOA Manufactures our NXTamid L in New Hampshire, USA. As a reliable domestic supplier with over 50 years of experience in specialty nylon resins, NYCOA offers a solution in an important point of the global supply chain.
