Polyamide 6, 6.6 (Nylon 6, 6.6)
Introduction & Properties
Polyamide (Nylon) is a versatile polymer composed of amide monomers linked by peptide bonds. Found both naturally (in proteins like wool and silk) and synthetically (such as nylons and aramids), polyamides are widely used due to their exceptional mechanical and thermal properties.
Nylon 6 and Nylon 6.6 are high-performance engineering thermoplastics known for their superior mechanical strength, rigidity, and thermal stability. They offer excellent impact resistance, even at low temperatures, along with low friction and wear resistance, making them ideal for demanding industrial applications. Additionally, their high electrical insulation properties make them a preferred choice in electrical and electronic components.
