General Info
IMPORTANT: With the acquisition of Cast Nylons Limited by Mitsubishi Chemical Group starting April 1st, 2026, some Nycast products will no longer be available.
Including Nycast Natural, MOS2, XHA Blue, GX & SLX, which will now be supported as follows:

· Nycast XHA Blue → Nylatron® 901 PA6

Nycast XHA Blue will be supported by Nylatron® 901 PA6 moving forward.
NYCAST XHA Blue Type 6 Cast Nylon has a heat stabilizer that retards the loss of physical properties as temperature increases. This allows the material to function at approximately 10% higher temperatures than standard grades; meaning NYCAST XHA operating at 200°F will have approximately the same physical properties as a standard grade operating at 185°F. Maximum intermittent temperature for NYCAST XHA is 350°F and continuous operating temperature is 250°F (compared to 230°F for standard grades). Also available in Natural, Black, and Forest Green.
