Polyamide 6 (PA 6) Sheets for Versatile Solutions
Our Polyamide 6 (PA 6) sheets, also known as Nylon 6, represent the most prevalent polyamide in the industry, offering a well-rounded blend of characteristics typical to this material group. Notably, these sheets excel in damping properties, impact strength, and maintain high tenacity even at low temperatures.
In comparison to filled variants, our PA 6 / Nylon 6 sheets do exhibit higher moisture absorption, slightly reduced wear-resistance, and a marginal decrease in dimensional stability. Additionally, there are constraints on the size of semi-finished products and unit weight due to the manufacturing process.
One of the most significant advantages of our Polyamide 6 sheets is their remarkably low density, translating to potential cost savings of up to 50% compared to traditional metal products such as steel and bronze. These sheets boast mechanical properties akin to metals, making them a compelling choice.
Machining our Nylon 6 / Polyamide 6 sheets is a breeze, as they can be expertly milled, turned, drilled, and ground. These sheets contribute to noise reduction, vibration dampening, corrosion resistance, and are safe for contact with food and drinking water. Furthermore, they are eco-friendly and highly resistant to various substances, including hydrocarbons, oils, alcohols, ketones, esters, acids, alkalis, and weak chemicals. Polyamide 6 sheets are non-toxic and heat-resistant, assuring reliability in various applications.
