General Mills announces a new nylon The new Mil vex* family of specialty nylon resins combines the flexibility and adhesion of dimer-based polyamide resins with the toughness and working characteristics of nylon. M i l v e x * resins offer the following unique combination of properties:
•
Low moisture sensitivity with corresponding dimen sional stability
sible use in fabric bonding, and on many flexible pack aging substrates.
•
Flexibility without plasticizers
Predevelopment work on M i l v e x * resins has been so successful, a new multi-million pound capacity plant will be going on stream this fall. Production samples for testing are available now. For more information and samples, use the attached coupon.
Π Unusual optical clarity U Processing stability and heat sealability U Excellent adhesive properties—it's a thermoplastic adhesive with thermosetting qualities Excellent tensile shear and peel strength M i l v e x * resins have tensile strengths ranging from 3400 to 7500 psi; elongation from 200 to 600 percent; tensile modulus from 20,000 to 100,000 psi; and Vicat softening point from 60 to 174°C. Proper selection of a resin in the M i l v e x * family can provide properties tailored to many requirements. M i l v e x * resins can be extruded, injection molded, applied by hot melt techniques, heat activation or solution coating. Their exceptional " w e t - o u t " char acteristics permit bonding of such difficult substrates as glass, steel, aluminum, copper, brass and many plastics. Their low modulus of elasticity permits pos
