Stanyl
The Advanced Engineering Polymer for Strength and Versatility
What is Stanyl?
It is a high-performance polyamide (nylon 46) thermoplastic known for its exceptional mechanical strength, heat resistance, and wear performance. This advanced material is widely used in automotive, electronics, medical, and industrial applications where high-performance plastic components are required.
At Stephens Plastics, we specialise in Stanyl plastic solutions, ensuring our customers receive superior engineering-grade materials tailored to their specific requirements.
Why Choose Stanyl for Your Application?
Stanyl is an industry-leading material that offers exceptional strength, high-temperature resistance, and superior wear properties. At Stephens Plastics, we recommend Stanyl plastic because it provides:
- Superior Mechanical Strength – Outstanding impact resistance and durability.
- Exceptional Thermal Stability – Performs at temperatures exceeding 230°C, making it ideal for extreme environments.
- Superior Wear & Friction Resistance – Extended lifespan for moving parts.
- Outstanding Chemical Resistance – Withstands exposure to oils, fuels, and industrial chemicals.
- Flame Retardant Grades Available – Compliant with stringent fire safety standards.
Stanyl vs. Other Engineering Polymers: How Does It Compare?
Selecting the right engineering-grade thermoplastic is essential for product longevity and performance. Here’s how Stanyl plastic compares:
| Feature | Stanyl (PA 46) | Standard Polyamide (PA 6/PA 66) | PEEK |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heat Resistance | Excellent (230°C+) | High (180°C) | Excellent (250°C+) |
| Wear & Friction Performance | Superior | Moderate | Excellent |
| Chemical Resistance | Outstanding | Good | Excellent |
| Mechanical Strength | High | Moderate | High |
| Ease of Processing | High | High | Moderate |
Unlike traditional polyamide materials, Stanyl’s high-temperature resistance and wear performance make it a superior choice for extreme engineering applications.
