Which Compound to Use to Manufacture a Textile Machine Brake Shoe

What Is It?

NEXXALON™ PA66 Unfilled Super Tough Compound, chosen for braking components subject to repeated mechanical shock.

How It's Manufactured

An impact modifier is melt-blended into PA66 resin, dispersed for consistent toughness through the part.

Manufacturing Process for This Application

Brake shoe components are injection molded from the impact-modified compound, engineered to absorb repeated braking-cycle impact without cracking over the machine's operating life.

Why Polymer Choice Matters Here

A brake shoe engages and disengages repeatedly under real mechanical shock every cycle — a standard or reinforced PA66 grade optimized for stiffness rather than impact absorption would fatigue and crack faster under this specific repeated-impact loading.

Why This Compound Is Suited

"Automotive Brake shoe" is explicitly listed among this grade's applications, alongside textile machinery use.

Nexxa Compounds is a leading manufacturer of PA66 compounds for textile machine brake shoe applications in India, supplying some of the largest manufacturers across India and internationally.
