Polyamide [PA]

Polyamides, or “nylons,” come in various types, with PA 6, PA 66, PA 11, and PA 12 being the most significant. Their physical properties differ mainly due to variations in molecular composition and chain structure.

  • High mechanical strength, stiffness, hardness and toughness
  • Good fatigue resistance
  • High mechanical damping capacity
  • Good sliding properties
  • Excellent wear resistance.
  • Good electrical insulating properties
  • Good resistance to high energy radiation [gamma and X-rays]
  • Good machinability
  • Polyamides may absorb up to 9% of their weight in water under high humidity or when submerged. This leads to dimensional changes and a corresponding reduction in physical properties. Proper design techniques can often compensate for these effects.
