Nylon 66 (Polyamide 66) Granules
Nylon 66 (Polyamide 66) is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic known for its superior mechanical strength, rigidity, thermal stability, and excellent wear resistance. Manufactured through the polycondensation of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid, Nylon 66 offers higher heat resistance and stiffness compared to Nylon 6. It is widely used in demanding automotive, electrical, industrial, and consumer applications where durability, dimensional stability, and long-term performance are critical.

Industry Applications
Nylon 66 is extensively used in under-the-hood automotive components such as engine covers, air intake manifolds, radiator end tanks, cable ties, clips, connectors, and structural brackets. Its high heat resistance and strength make it ideal for EV battery housings and electrical connectors.
Due to its excellent electrical insulation and flame-retardant properties, Nylon 66 is used in circuit breakers, connectors, terminal blocks, switch housings, and electrical enclosures that require thermal and electrical reliability.
Nylon 66 is widely used in fibers for carpets, ropes, parachutes, tire cords, industrial fabrics, and high-performance textiles due to its superior tensile strength and abrasion resistance.
Nylon 66 is commonly used in appliance components such as gears, motor housings, brackets, and structural parts in washing machines, refrigerators, air-conditioners, and power tools.
High-strength Nylon 66 grades are used in defense equipment components, protective housings, structural fittings, and heavy-duty industrial parts requiring durability under extreme conditions.
