Nylon 46
Nylon 46 (PA46), commonly known by the trade name Stanyl, is a high-performance aliphatic polyamide engineered for applications requiring exceptional heat resistance, mechanical strength, and wear performance. With a higher melting point and faster crystallization than standard nylons, PA46 delivers superior stiffness and dimensional stability under continuous high-temperature operating conditions. It is widely used as a metal replacement material in automotive, electrical, and industrial components where reliability and long service life are critical.
