A precolored nylon specialty compound reinforced with glass fiber can be used to produce high-strength connectors. The 200 Series nylon provides consistent color and heat stability for many part sizes regardless of residence time. In addition, the coupling in question, designed for sandblasting equipment, is designed to eliminate wear points. The compound met the company’s requirements for impact strength at 18-ft lbs/in. at 1/8-in. unnotched, 2.8-ft. lbs/in. at 1/8-in. notched and a flexural strength of 20,000 psi. The heat deflection of the material is 430ºF@ 264 psi. Using the nylon glass-reinforced material, the company was able to achieve consistency between the different sizes of couplings as well as lot-to-lot.
