PA6 (Nylon 6)
PA6 (Nylon 6) Compound
PA6 (Nylon 6) is an engineering plastic known for its strength, toughness, dimensional stability, and resistance to deformation. It is suitable for applications involving heavy loads, as well as providing chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and good heat resistance.
Property
PA 6 and PA 66 are both polyamides (PA) or nylon plastics, sharing many similar properties while also exhibiting some key differences tailored to their specific applications.
● High strength and durability
● High temperature resistance
● Impact resistance
● Easy processability
● Good wear and scratch resistance
● Excellent oil resistance
● Good electrical insulation
● Non-flammable
Application
PA6 is commonly used in applications such as work gears, bearings, bushings, gears, valves and motorcycle wheels due to its strength and toughness. In addition, additives such as glass fiber and mineral fiber are incorporated to enhance its mechanical properties and heat resistance. This makes it suitable for use in car parts such as fan clutches, Intake manifold, and more.
