PA 66
Semi-crystalline thermoplastic
Properties
- High moisture absorption, up to 2.7% in a standard environment. This results in increased impact strength. In thin-walled elements, it results in a reduction in mechanical strength and dimensional stability
- Excellent sliding properties
- High abrasion resistance
- Extremely high tensile strength and hardness over a wide temperature range
- Excellent workability
- Good adhesive properties
- Good weldability
- Perhaps a long-term high operating temperature
Fields of application
- Components exposed to mechanical pressure at high temperatures
Mechanical engineering, automotive and accessories manufacturing
E.g. Friction bearings, spool bodies, guide and clutch parts, gears and guide rails
