Polyamide 6

Polyamide 6 (also PA 6) is one of the outstanding materials in the world of plastics and, together with ABS and PP compounds, occupies a leading position. Particularly in mechanical engineering and precision engineering, polyamide is indisputably the first choice.

The versatility of polyamide 6 makes it a universal material for mechanical functional parts in mechanical engineering. Its outstanding properties are particularly evident in that it:

• offers cold resistance, which means that it retains its performance even at low temperatures.
• can withstand impact loads and shocks, making it ideal for applications subject to high stress.
• has a high impact strength, which means that it can keep its structure intact even under sudden loads or impacts.
• possesses remarkable abrasion resistance, even when in contact with the roughest sliding partners.
• has a high working capacity, which means that it can be processed well and offers diverse forming options.
