Nylon 66
Product full identity:
Nylon 66 / Polyamide 66 (PA 66)
Nylon 66 has a higher mechanical strength, stiffness, heat and wear resistance than standard 6. It also has a better creep resistance, however, its impact strength and mechanical damping ability are lower.
Properties
- High strength and stiffness
- High wear and creep resistance
- Wide temperature range (+95 to -30°C)
- Dimension stability and electrical properties
- Food contact approved
- Easily machined.
Applications
- Gears
- Bushes
- Washers
- Applications that require wear resistance.
Forms
- Sheet
- Rod
