Nylon and Anti-Static Nylon

The most effective heat-sealable plastic films for long-term Level I packaging of critical, precision parts. These films create excellent primary barriers for packaging electronics, pharmaceutical products, and precision bearings and components.

Clean Room Products' NYLON and ANTI-STATIC NYLON are fabricated of Nylon 6, a polyamide. Nylon 6 has the maximum stiffness, strength and heat-resistance of all the nylons, and is therefore the most commonly used nylon for a variety of applications.

It should be noted, however, that all nylons absorb a certain level of water from the atmosphere, and that the equilibrium point of their moisture-absorption depends on the relative humidity.

Features
Holds up under elevated temperatures
Superior gas barrier properties
Extremely oil- and grease-resistant
Maximum resistance to abrasion, wear and puncture
Autoclavable and excellent for pharmaceuticals
NYLON is FDA-approved for packaging food and meat (Anti-static nylon is not FDA-approved)
Cleaned and packaged in our Class 10/100 clean room to Clean Room Products Level I. (Other government, industry and company specs met on request.)
Available in lay-flat tubing, bags and centerfold sheeting in a variety of standard sizes and thicknesses
Custom sizes and gauges also available
