PVC, PP & Plastic Products

Leading Manufacturer, Supplier & Retailer of POLYAMIDE (PA)-NYLON.

POLYAMIDE (PA)-NYLON

These are divided into three basic types PA6, PA66 and PA12

THE MAIN BENEFITS OF USING PA ARE

High mechanical damping properties
Very high wear resistance
High mechanical strength, hardness, rigidity & toughness
Good sliding and emergency running properties
Good machining properties
Good resistance to high energy radiation (Gamma & X-rays)

The standard stock shapes are manufactured by two methods.

CASTING & EXTRUSION

Casting grades:- These grades are denoted by the suffix G and these grades exhibit high mechanical strength, stiffness, heat, impact strength, creep resistance and wear resistanceThe commonly used casting grades are:-

PA6GStandard cast Polyamides for components, and equipment that are subject to above conditions.

Colors:natural, black.

PA6is also available in an oil filled grade called Oilamid which offers superior self-lubricating properties and MoS2 filled grade which has a higher degree of crystallinity.

Applications:Gears, wear pads, bushings, bearings, conveyor plates, pump impellors etc.

PA12GThis is a special purpose grade used when higher impact and shock resistance, less water absorption and improved creep resistance is required.

EXTRUSION GRADES

Extrusion grades are denoted by the suffix E, these are produced in smaller thicknesses and diameters and offer superior damping properties to casting grades.

The commonly available grades are:

PA6EThis is a standard multipurpose grade and offer a good combination of mechanical stability, impact resistance and damping but much lower wear resistance to casting grades.

Applications:hammer heads, gear wheel etc.

PA66EThis is harder than PA6 and is more resistant to wear but has lesser impact resistance.

PA12EHas very low water absorption proportion hence has very good impact behavior and is tough, but is much more costlier than PA6.

Colors:natural and black.
