LAYMIDE ™

LAYMIDE ™

Description

LAYMIDE ™ is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic based on Nylon (Polyamide), renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, abrasion resistance, and thermal endurance. It is particularly well-suited for components that require mechanical reliability under load, exposure to wear, and dimensional stability in harsh environments.

Nylon is inherently semi-crystalline, providing excellent mechanical strength, fatigue resistance, and chemical compatibility—even at elevated temperatures. Its ability to absorb shock loads, resist deformation, and maintain structural integrity makes it ideal for high-demand industrial, automotive, and consumer applications

Engineering Insight

Nylon’s molecular structureconsisting of long-chain polyamidescreates strong hydrogen bonding between polymer chains, which enhances tensile strength and thermal stability. It exhibits self-lubricating properties, reducing friction in moving parts, and performs exceptionally well in dynamic loading conditions.

LAYMIDE ™ offers grades with glass fiber reinforcement, heat stabilizers, and impact modifiers to meet specialized needs. Though Nylon is hygroscopic (absorbs moisture), modern formulations are designed to minimize its effect on dimensional accuracy and long-term performance.

Product Properties

In terms of processability, Nylon supports injection molding, extrusion, and even 3D printing, enabling high precision and design flexibility. Its low coefficient of friction, combined with high load-bearing capacity, makes it a trusted solution for engineered parts exposed to continuous motion and mechanical stress.
