What Is It?
NEXXALON™ Unfilled Compound, chosen for outdoor two-wheeler components needing flexibility under vibration.
How It's Manufactured
PA6 resin is heat-stabilized and, for this outdoor application, often specified in a UV-stabilized co-polymer variant.
Manufacturing Process for This Application
Mirror housings are injection molded from PA6 pellets, sized to grip the mirror glass and the mounting stem securely while flexing slightly rather than cracking under continuous engine and road vibration.
Why Polymer Choice Matters Here
A mirror housing vibrates continuously with the vehicle and sits fully exposed outdoors — a rigid, UV-unstabilized polymer would crack from vibration fatigue and degrade visibly from sun exposure faster than PA6's flexible, UV-stabilizable formulation.
Why This Compound Is Suited
"Two wheeler mirror housings" is explicitly listed among this grade's applications.
Nexxa Compounds is a leading manufacturer of PA6 compounds for two-wheeler mirror housing applications in India, supplying some of the largest manufacturers across India and internationally.
