WHAT IS POLYAMIDE?
Polyamide, better known as Nylon, is a versatile plastic celebrated for its impressive properties. In engineering and dynamic applications, Polyamide stands out for its exceptional wear resistance and excellent sliding and rolling characteristics. But this robust plastic offers much more.
Polyamide combines hardness and stiffness with remarkable sound-dampening properties, making it ideal for noise reduction applications. Additionally, it is tough and highly machinable, adapting easily to diverse applications.
A notable feature of Polyamide is its ability to optimize properties through additives. For instance, oil-filled Polyamide provides integral lubrication in dynamic applications, reducing friction and extending component lifespan.
In addition to "Polyamide," this plastic is known by various names and comes in different types, such as PA6, oil-filled PA6+, Ertalon, Nylon 6, PA 12, PA66, Akulon, Ultramid, Zytel, and Nylatron.
