Nylon (Super Nylon) - PA6 (Polyamide 6)

Super Nylon, also known as Nylon 6 or PA6 (Polyamide 6), is an engineering plastic categorized as a thermoplastic polyamide derived from the polymerization process of amide and organic acid. The addition of additives such as graphite and molybdenum disulfide helps enhance its properties.

Applications: Super Nylon has a wide range of applications, particularly in industries. It can be used in turning-milling operations to manufacture various machine parts and components such as bushings, pulleys, gears, valves, bumpers, and worktables.

Properties of Super Nylon PA6 Sheets and Bars

  • Resistant to abrasion and color fading, maintains shape integrity.
  • Suitable for applications requiring high strength.
  • Hardness: 70-82 Shore D.
  • Suitable for use in temperatures ranging from -40 to 85 °C.
  • Begins to deform at 75 °C under pressure.
  • Maximum Operating Temperature: Up to 120 °C (melting point 180-200 °C).
  • Has no taste or odor, non-hazardous.
  • Can be heat sealed at high temperatures.
  • High expandability and excellent flexibility, resistant to tensile and tear forces.
  • Resistant to chemicals and scratching.
  • Highly absorbent to water.
  • Effective barrier against fat, oxygen, and various odors.
  • Retains strength and resists gas permeation with increased humidity.

Super Nylon PA6 is therefore a suitable material for industries requiring high durability and flexibility.
