- kragen 7y agoThank you! The plastics compatibility chart linked above also listed it (even nylon 6-6, which it called nylon 66) as only "fair", which surprised me. Does it hydrolyze?
- s0rce 7y agoI have no idea what happens, maybe cracking or deformation. Most things I've read is that the max service temp of nylon is close to autoclaving temps (or just below) and its not suitable for use in boiling water either.
