What Properties Does PA Have?

Main performance of PA:
1. High mechanical strength, good toughness, high tensile and compressive strength.

2. Outstanding fatigue resistance, the parts can still maintain their original mechanical strength after repeated bending.

3. High softening point, heat resistant. （For example, nylon 46, etc., highly crystalline nylon has a high heat distortion temperature and can be used for a long time at 150 degrees. After PA66 is reinforced with glass fiber, its heat distortion temperature reaches more than 250 degrees)

4. The surface is smooth, the friction coefficient is small, and it is wear-resistant. It has self-lubricating properties and low noise when used as movable mechanical components. It can be used without lubricant when the friction is not too high.

5. Corrosion-resistant, very resistant to alkali and most salt liquids, also resistant to weak acids, engine oil, gasoline, aromatic hydrocarbons and general solvents, inert to aromatic compounds, but not resistant to strong acids and oxidants. It can resist the erosion of gasoline, oil, fat, alcohol, weak city, etc. and has good anti-aging ability. It can be used as packaging material for lubricants, fuels, etc.

7. Has excellent electrical properties. It has good electrical insulation properties. Nylon has high volume resistance and high breakdown voltage resistance. It can be used as power frequency insulation material in dry environments.

8. The parts are light in weight, easy to dye and easy to shape. Because of its low melt viscosity, it can flow quickly. It is easy to fill the mold, has a high solidification point after filling, and can be quickly shaped, so the molding cycle is short and the production efficiency is high.
