Hi,

I was wondering about autoclaving nylon 6/6...Is the discoloration bad?...Do you know how many cycles it can take? Does it become brittle? Any more info can help...We want to replacing pvc with an autoclavable material..price is a major concern...What do you think?

There are heat stabilized and hydrolysis resistant grades of nylons. They are used for things like automotive radiator header tanks. Expect to pay more.
