Polyamide 6 (PA 6) is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic with balanced mechanical properties. The material is characterised by good damping and wear properties. Due to its properties, PA 6 is a universal material for construction and maintenance.
Dimensional changes due to water absorption must always be taken into account when designing machine elements.
Main features
- Balanced mechanical properties
- impact-resistant, in the cold down to - 40°C
- Heat resistance up to 70°C (moulded up to 80°C)
