High Toughness and Impact Resistance: PA6 exhibits excellent toughness and impact resistance, making it suitable for applications where parts are subjected to dynamic loads, such as gears, bearings, and automotive components.
Good Abrasion Resistance: The abrasion resistance of PA6 makes it an excellent choice for products requiring wear resistance. It is commonly used in conveyor components, wear pads, and machine parts.
Good Chemical Resistance: PA6's resistance to various chemicals makes it suitable for applications in contact with fluids, chemicals, and oils. It is used in components for chemical processing equipment and oil reservoirs.
Electrical Insulation: PA6's electrical insulating properties are advantageous for applications requiring electrical isolation. It finds use in electrical connectors, switchgear components, and insulating parts.
High Flexibility and Impact Resistance: PA11 offers exceptional flexibility and impact resistance, making it suitable for applications requiring parts to withstand dynamic stresses. It is used in flexible tubing, hoses, and cable insulation.
Resistance to Chemicals and Hydrolysis: PA11's resistance to various chemicals, oils, and hydrolysis makes it suitable for applications exposed to harsh environments. It finds use in fuel lines, oil reservoirs, and chemical handling equipment.
Low Water Absorption: PA11's low water absorption rate results in stable mechanical properties even in humid conditions. This property is advantageous for applications like underwater components and outdoor equipment.
Biocompatibility: Due to its biocompatibility, PA11 is used in medical applications such as surgical instruments, catheters, and implants, where it interacts safely with the human body.
Low Moisture Absorption: PA12's low moisture absorption results in stable properties in humid environments, making it suitable for gears, bearings, and bushings.
Chemical Resistance: Its resistance to chemicals and oils makes it suitable for fuel systems, chemical containers, and oil reservoirs.
Impact Strength at Low Temperatures: PA12 retains impact strength in cold temperatures, making it used in snowmobile parts, winter sports equipment, and automotive components.
High Tensile Strength: PA46 offers exceptional tensile strength, making it suitable for applications requiring strong mechanical properties, like automotive and industrial components.
Low Tensile Elongation: Its low elongation makes it ideal for applications where dimensional stability is essential, such as precision parts and components.
High Heat Deflection Temperature: PA46's high heat deflection temperature makes it valuable for applications requiring stability at elevated temperatures, including automotive under-the-hood parts and industrial equipment.
