MX Nylon Mxd6 Barrier Resin

Introduction of NYLONMXD6

NYLON MXD6 is one of the crystalline polyamide resins， Which is produced through polycondensation of meta-xylylene diamine (MXDA) with adipic acid under MGC’s own technology.  NYLON－MXD6 is a unique aliphatic polyamide resin that contains meta-xylylene groups in the molecule.

Nylon MXD6 Features

NYLON MXD6 has the following distinguished properties compared with other conventional polyamide resins such as nylon-6 and/or nylon-66.

-Higher tensile and flexural strength and modulus.

MX has excellent rigidity and strength. After being modified with glass fiber and carbon fiber filling, the material’s specific strength and specific modulus are equivalent to those of metal materials. It can realize lightweight replacement of metals, give products a higher degree of design freedom, and improve processing efficiency.

-Higher glass transition temperature.

MX has excellent rigidity, high glass transition temperature, lower water absorption and good processing performance compared to PA6 and PA66. Can be used in extrusion injection molding, etc.

-Lower water absorption.

-Wider processing window.

MX resin is easy to process and can be processed by extrusion injection blow molding and other processing methods. It has a wide processing range and is easy to co-form with other resins (PET/PA/PP/PE). It can be combined with other materials to produce laminated films, sheets, containers and other products.

-Excellent gas barrier properties.

MX has excellent gas barrier properties (O2/CO2/small odor molecules). The barrier properties are much higher than PA6, and its sensitivity to humidity is significantly lower than EVOH. It can be used to improve the barrier properties and water absorption properties of the material. It is used in high-barrier films and bottles.

Nylon-MXD6 vs EVOH, PVDC

Based on these properties, NYLON MXD6 has been widely applied for packaging materials, molding compounds and monofilaments.

One of the most remarkable properties of NYLON-MXD6 is superior gas barrier properties against oxygen and carbon dioxide which are the best in commercial nylon plastics and better than those of ethylene-vinylalcohol copolymers (EVOH)， acrylonitrile copolymers (PAN) and vinylidenchloride copolymers（PVDC） under a practical condition.

Application

Additionally, because of the excellent heat stability and the wide processing window,

NYLON-MXD6 can be easily applied for co-extrusion or co-injection in combination with other resins such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET)， polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene(PE) to produce multilayer containers， multilayer sheets or films for the packaging industry.
