Polyamide extruded PA 6
PA 6 is the best-known extruded polyamide and offers a balanced combination of all typical properties of this material group. Damping capacity and impact strength of the material are to be emphasized as well as its high toughness even at low temperatures. The good abrasion resistance, especially against sliding partners with rough surfaces, completes the range.
Compared to the cast variants PA 6G, the extruded PA 6 shows a higher moisture absorption, is less wear resistant and dimensionally stable. Due to the manufacturing process, only limited large semi-finished product dimensions and unit weights can be realized.
Properties:
- good mechanical strength
- high impact strength
- good damping capacity
- good sliding properties
PA 6 extruded + MoS2 black
By adding molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) to PA6, better stiffness, hardness and dimensional stability are achieved due to the nucleating effect. However, this reduces the impact strength of the material. By adding the additive, the modified polyamide material exhibits better sliding friction properties and improved abrasion resistance. Due to its black colouring, this universally applicable PA 6 is ideally suited for outdoor use and offers improved UV resistance.
PA 6 extruded GF 30 black
A polyamide reinforced with 30% glass fibre. Compared to non-reinforced polyamide, it is characterized by higher strength, stiffness, creep resistance and dimensional stability. Due to these properties, PA6 GF30 is a material that is particularly suitable for parts with high static loads over a long period of time in high temperature conditions. Since glass fibers tend in some cases to have a pronounced abrasive effect on the mating surface, glass-filled PA6 is rather unsuitable for sliding applications.
