Applications
PA 6 (Nylon 6)
Derived from caprolactam
Offers a good balance of strength,toughness,and thermal resistance
Automotive components, gears, consumer goods, and textiles
PA 66 (Nylon 6,6)
Formed from the polymerization of adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine
Slightly higher melting point and better wear resistance than PA 6
Automotive parts, cable ties, industrial components, and textiles
PA 11
Bio-based, derived from castor oil
Excellent UV resistance, flexibility, and lower environmental impact
Tubing, automotive fuel lines, and sports equipment
PA 12
Derived from laurolactam
Known for its flexibility and resistance to chemicals and UV radiation
Flexible tubing, pneumatic systems, and automotive applications
PA nylon can be painted to improve its aesthetic appeal, provide UV protection, or add a layer of chemical resistance. Proper surface preparation, such as cleaning and priming, is essential for optimal paint adhesion. Nylon parts can be mechanically polished to achieve a smooth, glossy finish. This is often done for aesthetic reasons or to create a smoother contact surface. Lasers can be used to mark or engrave PA nylon parts with barcodes, serial numbers, logos, or other information.
