Polyamide PA6
Poliamid PA6 is a polymer characterized by good thermal properties. It shows resistance to aging due to high temperatures.
What are Polyamides - what kind of synthetic materials are they?
Polyamide is a high-performance synthetic material, extremely resistant to high temperatures. The material has electrical insulation properties and shows high chemical resistance. Polyamide (nylon) exhibits high tensile and abrasion resistance, as well as good mechanical properties.
Due to its properties, polyamide finds applications in the automotive and transportation markets. It is used in electrical and electronic applications. Nylon is a thermoplastic material with the ability to absorb moisture. Water absorption is possible due to amide bonds, which also affect the material's mechanical resistance and flexibility.
Types of Polymers
There are two types of polymers: polyamide 6 (PA 6 - extruded polyamide) and polyamide 6.6 (PA 66). These are the two most commonly used polyamides in the world.
Polyamide PA6 and 6.6 differ in their chemical structure.
PA6 consists of one monomer, which has 6 carbon atoms.
PA66 is composed of two molecules, each with 6 carbon atoms.
Extruded polyamide PA6-e is less crystalline, has a higher tendency to absorb water, and also performs better in contact with hydrocarbons than PA 66.
What is Polyamide Fiber?
Polyamide fibers belong to the group of synthetic fibers. They are manufactured from polyamides, which give them high strength and durability. They also have a tendency to absorb water. Polyamide fiber is used in the textile industry (lingerie, socks, clothing production), in the automotive industry (tires, body parts), in decorative home fabric products (curtains, carpets), and in technical textiles.
Poliamid Plate available at POWER Rubber
Poliamid plate belongs to the group of construction materials with a wide and universal application.
Solid Polycarbonate - What Material Is It?
Solid polycarbonate is a lightweight and durable alternative to glass.
Solid poliamid plate is used as a roofing material:
- garages
- orangeries
- sports facilities
- shop windows
One of the advantages of this material is its high impact resistance.
Solid polycarbonate is a flame-retardant material and has high thermal insulation properties.
The plate is easy to bend and cut without difficulty.
The properties of the material also block the action of harmful UV rays.
Solid poliamid plate is used in helmets, police shields, and in finishing works at home:
- filling stair railings
- canopy lighting.
Solid polycarbonate is used in:
- medical industry (eyewear production)
- in agriculture (greenhouses)
- protective shields.
Poliamid plate is suitable for the production of prison windows, in the electronic and electrical industry (mobile phones, CD plates).
Poliamid plate and solid polycarbonate plate can be cut to any size (so-called polyamide formats).
Poliamid PA6 Rod (shaft)
Extruded polyamide PA and the rod (shaft) made from it have thermoplastic properties. The rod (shaft) is durable, solid, and wear-resistant. The wide temperature range from -40 to +100 degrees Celsius is another advantage of polyamide rods.
The polyamide rod has various diameters and can be cut to size.
Polyamide Rod (shaft) - sample applications:
- Slide blocks
- Guides
- Vibration dampers
- Gears and chain wheels
- Bushings
Poliamid PA6 - Properties
Poliamid PA6 (extruded polyamide) has a wide range of applications due to its properties. The most important properties of this material include:
- Resistance to high temperatures
- Resistance to wear and tear
- Excellent dielectric properties
- High water absorption
- Resistance to gasoline and fats
- Resistance to chemical substances
- High resistance to gamma and X-ray radiation
Poliamid PA6-e natur
Poliamid PA6-e natur is a semi-crystalline material with a natural color. Extruded polyamide PA6-e natur has high hygroscopicity, high thermal resistance, and good sliding properties. Polyamide PA6-e natur is most commonly used in the industry.
Poliamid PA6-g
Poliamid PA6-g is cast and unmodified. It has high thermal resistance. It is used in industries such as automotive and transportation, electrical engineering, and in the production of machine parts (bushings, gears, sealing rings).
