Nylon-6 Material Reduction

Wapakoneta, Ohio, August 24, 2018: MEI is proud to announce the addition of capabilities for size reduction of Nylon-6 materials. An investment in a state of the art climate controlled facility allows MEI to produce Nylon 6 material from 20 to 35 mesh for the rotational molding industry and finer sizes (60 mesh) for other markets. This addition in processing capabilities allows MEI to control the amount of moisture added to hydroscopic sensitive materials during the grinding and packaging phase. Finished goods moisture content is targeted from 0.05 – .15%.
