Which Compound to Use to Manufacture a Textile Machine Instrument Shoe

What Is It?

NEXXALON™ Unfilled Super Tough Compound, the PA6 impact-modified grade used for repeated-hammering mechanical parts.

How It's Manufactured

An impact modifier is melt-blended into PA6 resin on a twin-screw extruder for a well-dispersed rubber phase.

Manufacturing Process for This Application

Instrument shoes and brake shoes are injection molded from the impact-modified compound for use in continuously operating textile machinery.

Why Polymer Choice Matters Here

Instrument and brake shoes in running textile machinery absorb continuous mechanical shock during normal operation, not just occasional impact — a compound optimized for stiffness rather than elongation and impact strength would fatigue-crack far sooner in this continuous-duty application.

Why This Compound Is Suited

"Brake shoe for textile machine, Instrument shoes" is explicitly listed among this grade's applications.

Nexxa Compounds is a leading manufacturer of PA6 compounds for textile machine instrument shoe applications in India, supplying some of the largest manufacturers across India and internationally.
