PA 6 is a synthetic thermoplastic linear polyamide with many other names such as Nylon 6, Polycaprolactam, Polyamide 6 and etc.
It is commonly used in manufacturing industry because of its excellent properties:
- high strength and stiffness at high temperature
- good impact strength, even at low temperature
- very good flow for easy processing
- good abrasion and wear resistance
- excellent fuel and oil resistance
- good fatigue resistance
- excellent surface appearance and good processability
- good electrical insulating properties
- environmentally friendly, 100% recyclable
For many applications, PA 6 is modified using co-monomers or stabilizers during polymerization to introduce new chain end or functional groups, which changes the reactivity and chemical properties. This is often done to change the material dye-ability, mechanical properties or flame retardance.
PA 6 can also reinforced with glass fibers (short or long) and their stiffness can compete with metals, this is why PA 6+GF products are often considered in metal replacement projects.
