Domo Chemicals Expands Access of Technyl Nylons Worldwide
The company is now selling its full range of Technyl nylons 6 and 66 resins in North America and beyond.
Belgium’s Domo Chemicals (U.S. office in Buford, Ga.) has made its Technyl branded products available to customers globally. After acquiring Solvay’s European Performance Polyamides (nylon 66) business in 2020, Domo is now exclusively producing and commercializing the full range of Technyl nylons 66 and 6.
Key applications served by Technyl include high thermal and chemical resistance materials, light engineering solutions (metal, aluminum and thermoset replacements), flame retardant materials for advanced electrical protection, high aesthetic materials with the addition of new solutions for extrusion and friction and wear resistance.
In the e-mobility space, beside the new Orange shaded flame retardant Technyl, specially designed product for high-voltage components and cabling, Domo is offering a complete set of materials designed to offer mechanical, hydrolysis, flame retardancy and impact performances to a variety of battery components.
In addition the Technyl 4Earth range is providing a competitive and sustainable nylon alternative. Lifecycle assessments show that the carbon footprint of these products is reduced by a quarter, while consumption of non-renewable resources is halved and water use reduced by more than two-thirds compared to traditional compounds.
All customers are fully supported by Domo’s Service Hub. This is a unique platform that offers a complete portfolio of services for customers to pick and choose from, whether it’s material selection, part testing or several services in between.
