Polyamide, known by the brand name “Nylon” is a versatile engineering plastic prized for its strength and wear resistance.
At Philip Tyler Polymers, we specialise in recycling post-industrial and post-consumer nylon into high-quality regrind and compounds for use in injection moulding, compression moulding, and extrusion.
Understanding what material you are handling and effectively segregating is the key to recycled Nylon regrind. Our UK-based services offer traceability, batch control, and compliance, ensuring reliable recycled materials for your production needs.
How can nylon be recycled?
Nylon is often reinforced with glass to add further strength to the polymer, this makes Nylon hard to grind. After granulation it can be melted and reformed into pellets or depolymerised into its chemical components for higher-purity recycling.
What are common sources of recycled nylon?
Recycled PA6 or recycled PA66 nylon comes from post-industrial scrap, such as defective mouldings, machine purge and injection spruce, or from packaging such as crate arms and automotive components both from end-of-life vehicle recycling and redundant components.
What industries use recycled nylon?
Recycled nylon is widely used in textiles, automotive parts, and industrial applications like gears and bearings.
