Solve Strength, Processing, and Color Challenges

Americhem develops nylon compounds and nylon masterbatch technologies designed for extrusion, injection molding, film, and fiber spinning. From PA6 compounds and PA66 compounds to specialty grades, our custom nylon formulations are engineered for structural integrity, processing ease, and long-term durability.

Applications include:
  • Glass-filled nylon for high strength and impact performance
  • UV-stabilized nylon grades for outdoor and automotive parts
  • Lubricated nylon compounds for wear-critical applications
  • Thermally conductive and electrically active nylon for advanced functionality
  • Precolored nylon resins and masterbatch systems for uniform color dispersion
