Material catalogue - Nylon


Polyamides, often referred to as Nylons, are macromolecular, partially crystalline thermoplastics. There are a large number of polyamides that meet the demands of nearly all technical applications. The most typically used and standard versions of polyamides are PA 6, PA 66, PA 6 G and PA 12.

Polyamides characteristics generally consist of:
• High mechanical strength, stiffness, hardness and toughness
• Good fatigue resistance
• High mechanical dampening properties
• Excellent wear resistance
• Good machine ability

* Under load. Indicated figures reveal the highest number has the "best" property.
