MAXXPOL® Polyamide (PA6)
Engineering Thermoplastics
Polyamide (PA, also popularly known as Nylon) is one of the semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastics. It is a low-density material with high thermal stability and outstanding wear resistance. Good coefficients of friction, impact strength, very good temperature and chemical resistance, especially to oil, making polyamide one of the most important engineering thermoplastics. Polyamides are usually named with numbers (PA6, PA6.6, PA11, PA12, PA6.10, PA6.12, etc.) and thus provide an indication of the molecular structure of the polymer. Depending on the structure of the polyamide, the application limits range from around –30°C (PA 11 and PA 12: –70°C) to over +100°C, with short-term temperatures of around 140°C to 180°C being possible.
PA6 is widely used in a variety of application segments due to its known strength, elasticity and durability. These three features make PA6 one of the most appreciated polyamides used in different industries. In addition, PA6 can withstand sustained contact with a wide variety of chemicals, high temperatures and high pressure. Because of these unique features, PA6 is considered the most widely used polyamide in the world, and it comprises about 60% of the polyamides produced worldwide.
MAXXPOL® PA6 is an unreinforced, medium-viscosity polyamide 6 chip for extrusion applications. This product offers good mechanical properties coupled with thermal properties and has all the primary properties of one unreinforced polyamide 6 used to produce an engineering compound or high-tenacity filament/yarn.
