Wire and cable jacket composition of PA6/66 copolymer base resin for improved processability and properties
Polyamide compositions for use in forming wire or cable jacket compositions. The polyamide compositions include a component of polyamide 6/66 copolymer formed from substantially randomly distributed caprolactam monomers and hexamethylenediamine monomers. The polyamide 6/66 copolymer component may form the entirety of the polyamide composition or alternatively, the polyamide composition may include an amount of polyamide 6 homopolymer blended with the polyamide 6/66 copolymer component. The composition also includes one or more additives, such as at least one UV mitigation component, and the polyamide composition further has at least one of a measured transmittance of at least 70% and a measured haze of less than 60%, as determined by ASTM D1003.
