Nylon replaces thermoset in aircraft jet engines.

A new high-flow nylon 46 grade has been designed for components of aircraft jet engines. Stanyl 46HF4130 from DSM Engineering Plastics, Evansville, Ind., is a 30% glass-filled compound developed for the intake portion of the Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engine. The nylon 46 components replace reinforced

thermoset composites. Up to 15.6 in. long, yet only 0.03 in. thick in places, the components must withstand the impact of bird strikes at temperatures from -58 F to +302 F, as well as resist warpage. The engine uses 50 injection molded panels with highly complex geometry to minimize noise. Tel. (800)-333-4237 * PT Direct: 857XH
