Nylon 46
Nylon 46 is a type of polyamide or nylon commercialized by DSM under the brand "Stanyl". DSM is the only commercially supplier of this resin. It has a higher melting point than nylon 6 or nylon 66 so is useful in applications which must withstand high temperatures even for a short while. The diamine monomer (putrescine) can be readily obtained from biomass.
