PA 66

PA 66 is produ­ced by extru­sion (see PA 6) and ther­e­fore allows only limi­ted produc­tion of large semi-finis­hed formats and unit weights. Compared to PA 6, this mate­rial is some­what harder and more wear-resistant. As with PA 6, mois­ture absorp­tion is higher compared to PA 6 G. PA 6.6 and PA 6 G are compa­ra­ble in terms of other properties.
