Nylon 6

Product full identity:
Nylon 6 / Polyamide 6 (PA 6)

Nylon 6 (extruded) offers an optimal combination of mechanical strength, stiffness, toughness and wear resistance. These properties, together with good electrial characteristics and good chemical resistance makes Nylon 6 an ideal general purpose material.

Properties

• General purpose engineering material
• Wide temperature range (+85 to -40°C)
• Good wear and chemical resistance
• Good strength and stiffness
• Dimension stability and electrical properties
• Food contact approved
• Easily machined.

Applications

• Gears
• Bushes
• Washers
• Applications that require wear resistance.

Forms

• Sheet
• Rod

Nylon 6 Cast

Properties

• High strength and stiffness
• High wear and heat resistance
• Good temperature range (+105 to -30°C)
• Good creep resistance
• Easily machined

Applications

• Gears
• Bushes
• Washers
• Applications that requires wear resistance.

Forms

• Sheet
• Rod

• Dimension stability and electrical properties
• Food contact approved
• Easily machined.

Applications

• Gears
• Bushes
• Washers
• Applications that require wear resistance.

Forms

• Sheet
• Rod

Nylon 66 GS

Product full identity:
Nylon 66 GS / Nylatron GS / Nylon MoS2
