Polyamide-based Compounds
They are thermoplastic polymers with a partially cristalline structure presenting an excellent balance of properties combined with good processing properties. The chain chemical structure ensures a high impact resistance and excellent mechanical properties of the material. These qualities make polyamides suitable for use in many industrial sectors.
Aliphatic polyamide 6 is obtained through the polymerisation of caprolactam. The chain chemical structure ensures a high impact resistance and excellent mechanical properties of the material.
This product family includes a wide range of materials, such as fiberglass reinforced, elastomer modified, heat-stabilised, mineral filled and flame-retarded.
This compound is available in many viscosity grades and in a wide range of colours.
Polyamide 6 Compound main features are:
Applications:
AUTOMOTIVE
Under-the-hood parts and componenets, outer panels, bearing components
HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES
Casings for small household appliances
ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONIC
ECU components, bulb-holders, structural and covering parts, electrical joints and plugs, fuse-holder terminal boards
SPORT & LEISURE
Parts of ski boots, rollers etc.
Aliphatic polyamide 66 obtained through the polymerisation of adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine.
The hygroscopic sensitivity of polyamide 66, although it is 1% lower than polyamide 6 sensitivity, can significantly affect its properties.
This product family includes a wide range of materials, such as fiberglass reinforced, elastomer modified, heat-stabilised, mineral filled and flame-retarded.
