Your engineers and designers, your products, and your end-use customers will all benefit from the superior performance that Vydyne PA66 (nylon 66) products provide. Vydyne PA66 excels in a wide range of automotive applications, including air intake manifolds, engine covers, radiator end tanks, mirror brackets, roof racks, power steering reservoirs, air springs, emissions canisters, light housings, fans, fan shrouds, shifter bases, and more.

Solutia's expert applications development specialists help your engineers and designers develop innovative and cost-effective nylon solutions to satisfy your design criteria, especially in metal replacement applications.

These performance strengths explain why Solutia's Vydyne resins are preferred throughout the automotive industry:

If your application requires excellent performance at extreme temperatures, you need the heat resistance properties of Vydyne PA66.

Vydyne resins are routinely specified in power train applications, which require stability at temperatures of 300°F / 150°C.

You can also use nylon 66 in applications with short-term exposure to temperatures up to 340 °F / 170 °C.

The automotive chemicals, engine oils, and hydraulic fluids in your application are no match for Vydyne nylon 66, which has a long history of exceptional chemical resistance. You can also get special grades of Vydyne that offer improved hydrolysis resistance.

Because Vydyne PA66 is highly crystalline, your process is more productive. You get higher flow rates, which means that your molds fill more quickly. Vydyne's fast crystallization rate also provides shorter set-up times and faster ejection. The result: You reduce cycle time and part cost.

Solutia's applications development specialists are dedicated to resolving design and performance challenges just like yours. They bring decades of global industry knowledge, and they get involved early in your developmental process to help you shorten your development cycle. Contact them to discover why Vydyne PA66 is the most cost-effective, high-performance, engineering thermoplastic resin available in the automotive industry today.
