What Is It?
NEXXALON™ PA66 Unfilled Compound, offering the dimensional accuracy a sealing plumbing fitting needs.
How It's Manufactured
PA66 resin is compounded on a twin-screw line with additives suited to sustained water contact.
Manufacturing Process for This Application
Plumbing components are injection molded to precise thread and seal dimensions, since a plumbing fitting's entire function depends on those dimensions holding an exact, leak-free fit.
Why Polymer Choice Matters Here
A plumbing component that is dimensionally inconsistent leaks — there is no partial credit for a fitting that is otherwise strong but slightly out of tolerance — which is why PA66's reproducible molding accuracy is the deciding factor here.
Why This Compound Is Suited
"Water plumber parts" is explicitly listed among this grade's applications.
