SWITCHING FROM STEEL TO NYLON CREATES MULTIPLE BENEFITS CASE STUDY: BERGAMID™ NYLON FORMULATIONS Challe nge Accepted. THE SOLUTION Avient recommended Bergamid™ B70 G30H black TM-X PA 6 resin with 30 percent glass fiber reinforcement for its excellent mechanical properties and cost benefits. THE IMPACT By replacing traditional fabricated bent steel plate with injection-molded Bergamid PA 6 resin, HellermannTyton was able to duplicate key performance attributes while gaining new benefits in the areas of cost savings, design freedom and weight reduction.

These materials outperform nylon 6 and flexible PVC with better flexibility, lower moisture absorption, better insulation properties, and they are RoHS compliant. Easier to install – Our TPEs are more flexible than nylon and flexible PVC, which makes the MCCB easier to install, service and inspect. Good insulation between phases – Our materials deliver dielectric properties better than nylon and equivalent to flexible PVC, helping to prevent arc flash across the phases.
