Key Features and Properties

PA6 (Polyamide 6)

  • Excellent toughness and flexibility

  • Good abrasion and impact resistance

  • Low coefficient of friction

  • Outstanding chemical resistance against oils and fuels

  • Superior processability and surface finish

PA66 (Polyamide 66)

  • High tensile strength and stiffness

  • Superior thermal resistance (higher melting point than PA6)

  • Excellent wear resistance

  • Enhanced dimensional stability under heat

  • Outstanding fatigue resistance

PA66/6 (Blended Polyamide)

  • Combines the strength of PA66 with the improved processability of PA6

  • Better weld line strength and impact resistance

  • Reduced warpage for molded parts

  • Optimized balance of mechanical properties and ease of processing
