Product Description
Aarlon® 1000 is an unfilled, heat stabilized, natural type 6 nylon developed for rotational molding applications. Aarlon® 1000 offers high strength and stiffness with the natural lubricity and abrasion resistance of type 6 nylons. Aarlon® 1000 is designed for elevated temperature applications where the heat stabilizers extend mechanical and physical properties.

Aarlon® 1000 exhibits excellent resistance to grease, oils, and other hydrocarbons. Aarlon® 1000 is recommended for applications such as fuel tanks, chemical storage tanks, shrouds, ducts, and hydraulic reservoirs.
