Nylaflow is the brandname for nylon tubing made of T6 Nylon by a company
called S&L Plastics in Nazareth, Pennsylvania.  T6 is rated for working
temps up to about 260 degrees F.  I have heated T6 nylon samples to 360
degrees F for about three hours and found that its properties appear to be
largely intact but that it discolours and seems to be a bit more brittle.

I have not tried heating it to any higher temps than this.  IMHO, the fact
that it's only rated to 260 degrees is one more reason to avoid its use in
brakelines - certainly not near the brakes themselves.
