What’s the Deal With MC Nylon Colors? Here’s Everything You Need to Know
2025-07-26
Intro
You ask for MC Nylon and get three quotes: black, blue, and natural—each at a different price. Does color really change performance? This short guide unpacks three key facts so you can spend smart.
1 Where Do the Colors Come From?
MC Nylon is tinted with tiny amounts of color masterbatch—less than 2 %—mixed straight into the liquid monomer. It colors the polymer without altering the nylon backbone. Typical shades include natural (off‑white), black, blue, and green.
2 How Much Does Color Affect Performance?
| Property | Natural | Black | Blue | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tensile strength | ★★★ | ★★★ | ★★★ | Pigment load is low; strength is nearly identical |
| UV resistance | ★ | ★★★ | ★★ | Carbon black absorbs UV—better for outdoor use |
| Continuous temp (°C) | 120 | 120 | 120 | Unchanged by pigment |
Bottom line: Mechanical properties are virtually the same; black only stands out for superior UV protection outdoors.
3 Why the Price Gap?
Pigment cost: Blue and green masterbatches run 10‑20 % higher than black.
Branding & tracking: Some suppliers use colors to tag batches or authorized channels.
High price ≠ high performance: Most of the markup is supply‑chain or marketing, not added capability.
4 Three‑Step Color Decision
Check the environment: Long‑term outdoor use → pick black; indoor or hidden parts → natural for best value.
Check identification needs: Multiple batches or materials in one line? Color helps prevent mix‑ups.
Check the budget: If aesthetics or branding aren’t critical, natural is the cost‑effective choice; blue and green only when visual branding matters.
Wrap‑Up & CTA
Color doesn’t change core performance—but black does offer a UV edge, while blue and green mostly serve aesthetic or tracking goals. Ask yourself environment, ID, and budget first to avoid paying for “looks” alone.
