Barrels Nordson XALOY invented bimetallic cylinders more than 80 years ago and continues to lead the way in development of improved alloys and production processes. Nordson XALOY Bimetallic barrels meet the needs for wear and corrosion resistance Strong and straight The structural shell of Nordson XALOY bimetallic barrels consists of a microalloy steel that maintains high strength and straightness after casting of the wear-resistant alloy lining. Unlike some barrel manufacturers, Nordson XALOY can produce long barrels – up to 240 in. (6.1 m) – without resorting to butt welding. The benefit to you is a stronger, straighter barrel with no seams to trap polymers that can degrade and contaminate your process. for more than 90% of all injection molding requirements. X-800: High wear resistance for injection molding Composition: Nickel-rich iron-boron alloy. Composition: Tungsten carbide particles uniformly Cost-effective choice for either injection molding or dispersed in a corrosion-resistant nickel alloy matrix. extrusion of unfilled or lightly filled polymers having Outstanding resistance to both abrasive wear good thermal stability. Outlasts generic competitive barrels in Essential for molding highly filled abrasive materials comparative testing. such as those containing 25% or more of glass fibers X-220: Higher-chromium iron-boron alloy or mineral fillers (calcium carbonate etc.) and hard- Premium general-purpose barrel. to-melt materials such as HMW-HDPE or LLDPE. A step up in resistance to corrosion Resists corrosive attack by aggressive volatiles released by additives or polymers. X-306: For highly corrosive environments Abrasive Wear Corrosive Wear One of the most corrosion resistant alloys in the industry. A nickel/cobalt base alloy for the most severe corrosive atmospheres. X-102 Applications include: highly corrosive environments, acidic salts, material with flame retardants, Teflon, blowing 0 Corrosion rate, mm/yr agents, PVDF.
