Material Properties

Polyamide (PA), commonly known as Nylon, is a family of engineering thermoplastics characterized by excellent mechanical properties and wear resistance. It offers a unique combination of strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance.

Different grades serve different needs: PA6 offers good all-round properties, PA66 provides higher heat resistance and rigidity, while PA12 excels in dimensional stability and chemical resistance.

Outstanding wear and abrasion resistance
High mechanical strength and toughness
Good fatigue and impact resistance
Self-lubricating properties
Resistant to oils, greases, and many chemicals
