PA 6

PA 6 is an extru­ded poly­amide and combi­nes all the proper­ties of poly­ami­des in a balan­ced way. Howe­ver, compared to the cast vari­ants, this mate­rial shows higher mois­ture absorp­tion and is less wear-resistant and dimen­sio­nally stable. In addi­tion, the manu­fac­tu­ring process allows only limi­ted large semi-finis­hed product formats and unit weights.

The data sheets for this mate­rial and other mate­ri­als can be found in our down­load center.
