INTRODUCTION

Plastics are manmade wonder materials of the modern age and are foregoing ahead in popularity because of their attractive appearance and their intrinsic properties. They play an important role in the economy of all industrially advanced countries.

Nylon (C6H11NO)n is a generic name for a family of polyamide polymers Characterized by the presence of the amide group-CONH. By far the most important are Nylon 66 and Nylon 6. Except for slight difference in melting points the properties of the two forms are almost identical, though their chemical derivations are quite different. Other types are nylons 4,9,11 and 12.

There are many types of Nylons with a Specific gravity ranging from 1.04-1.17. All types burn with blue flames and yellow dips and give off a burnt wool or burnt hair odour. Nylon self-extinguishes on removal of the flame. Different types of nylons can be identified by the Fisher-John melting point test (ASTMD789). Solubility and specific gravity tests are also used to differentiate between the types of nylons. However, infrared spectroscopy in the best method for positive identifications.

Regarding moulding and Fabrication of Nylons, in general, Nylons can be injection. Moulded, extruded and blow-moulded. Nylon moulding powders are hygroscopic and should be kept sealed until required for use. Heated feed hoppers are often used since they reduce the ambient relative humidity. In general nylons have sharp melting points and low melt Viscosities and molton material is likely to ooze out from the nozzle of an injection moulding machine. Specially designed nozzles can be used to obviate this. One type depends for its sealing action on the chilling of a small plug of material within an internal restriction. When injection pressure is applied during the next cycle, the plug is ejected. Another consequence of the high fluidity of nylon is that moulds must be very well made, since the polymer flows readily into surface imperfections.

Nylon can be blow-extruded to give tubular film processing good clarity and high strength. Its high softening point and chemical inertness makes such a film of great interest for the packaging of foodstuffs or pharmaceuticals.
