NYRIM® C1 Catalyst

NYRIM® C1 Catalyst by Brüggemann is a solid, magnesium-based catalyst along with the activators NYRIM® P1-30- or NYRIM® P1-20A prepolymers. It is used in the anionic polymerization of AP-NYLON® caprolactam and for producing cast polyamide. This system enables the production of homogeneous cast parts of a reproducible high quality with short production cycles (demolding after less than 10 minutes) and low casting temperatures (melt: 95-105°C, mold: 140-150°C). Typical products of cast polyamide extend from large, low-tension semi-finished products, such as bars, tubes, and plates, to complex, often thick-walled molded parts that cannot be manufactured through injection molding or extrusion. It is suitable for rough and tough applications. The amount of NYRIM® C1 catalyst ranges from 4-8% (by weight). The shelf life of the product is at least 6 months under (dry, 25 °C) conditions.
