Nylon Fasteners Compliance with Prop65

Proposition 65

Proposition 65, officially known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, was enacted as a ballot initiative in November 1986. The proposition protects the state's drinking water sources from being contaminated with chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to inform Californians about exposures to such chemicals.

Lockdowel, Inc. manufacturers all of our plastic fasteners from Nylon 66.  Nylon 66 (nylon 6-6, nylon 6/6 or nylon 6,6) is a type of polyamide or nylon. It, and nylon 6, are the two most common for textile and plastic industries. Nylon 66 is made of two monomers each containing 6 carbon atoms, hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid, which give nylon 66 its name

Under the Proposition 65 listing of lof chemicals known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity, nylon, nylon 66, nylon 6/6, nylon 6,6, polyamide, hexamethylenediamine or adipic acid are not on the list as of January 03, 2020 of which is the most recent published.
