What Is It?
NEXXALON™ Unfilled Compound, chosen for furniture hardware needing flexibility and impact tolerance.
How It's Manufactured
PA6 resin is heat-stabilized and compounded on a twin-screw line for consistent molding.
Manufacturing Process for This Application
Furniture fittings, connectors, and leg caps are injection molded, taking advantage of PA6's elasticity to snap-fit onto tubular metal or wood furniture frames without cracking on assembly.
Why Polymer Choice Matters Here
Furniture hardware is assembled once under real mechanical stress (press-fit or snap-fit) and then has to hold that fit for years under the furniture's working load — a brittle polymer would crack during assembly itself, before the furniture is ever used.
Why This Compound Is Suited
"Furnitures" is explicitly listed among this grade's applications.
Nexxa Compounds is a leading manufacturer of PA6 compounds for furniture component applications in India, supplying some of the largest manufacturers across India and internationally.
