Zytel

Brand information

Celanese Zytel® is a trusted name in nylon resins, offering a robust portfolio of nylon 6, nylon 66, and specialty nylon plastic compounds engineered for demanding applications. Whether you're designing for structural strength, thermal performance, or chemical resistance, Zytel nylon resins deliver consistent, long-term reliability.

As one of the most recognized nylon resin families, Zytel supports the automotive, electrical, industrial, and consumer markets with materials that perform under pressure—literally. Celanese Zytel PA66 grades, including Zytel Plus, are built to outperform standard nylon 66, offering extended durability in hot air, hot oil, and aggressive chemical environments. Select grades maintain weld strength after 1,000 hours at 210°C and resist degradation in high-heat conditions better than traditional nylon 6 or nylon plastic solutions.

From unfilled to toughened, glass-filled, and flame-retardant formulations, Zytel provides tailored solutions with superior impact resistance—up to 8x stronger than basic grades. Whether you're optimizing under-the-hood parts or high-voltage components, Celanese Zytel nylon resins stand up to the challenge.

Engineered for excellence, trusted worldwide—Zytel is the performance standard for advanced nylon 6 and nylon 66 applications.
