- Good combination of mechanical and chemical characteristics.
Wear- and creep resistant - Great durability
- Can be steam sterilized
- Resistant to aliphatic, aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons,
esters, ketones, alcohols and most bases (alkali) - For increased stiffness and tensile strength, PA6 + fiberglass
is an option - Max operation temperature +80°C
- Suitable with food
| - All types of polyamides absorb or emit moisture
- Attacked by strong mineral acids and acetic acid
- UV make the polyamides frangible over time
- The moisture level affect the tensile strength,
stiffness, creep resistance, impact strength and dimension - The linear expansion varies with temperature
and moisture
