PA 66
Description
PA 66 is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic with greater stiffness and dimensional stability than PA 6 and a higher melting point. As it absorbs less moisture, it allows tighter tolerances. Like PA 6, it has high tensile strength and wear resistance. It can be bonded and welded, and is a good electrical insulator.
Main characteristics
- Wear resistance.
- Resistant to many oils, greases, diesel and petrol.
- Compact and hard.
- Good machinability.
- Can be welded and bonded.
- Good sliding properties.
- Electrical insulator.
Typical uses
- Gears
- Bearing rails
- Screws and wall plugs
- Piston guides
- Track rollers
- Bearings
- Conveyor screws
- Cam grinders
- Grooved pulleys
- Parts for plugs and sockets
