Thermoplastic polyamide

Thermoplastic polyamides, better known as nylon, are a group of synthetic polymers characterized by their excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance and chemical resistance. They belong to the family of polyamides and, because of their versatility and durability, are widely used in various industries, such as the automotive industry, electrical appliances, lamination applications and printing ink industry.

Unique Properties

  • High strength: They have high tensile strength and impact resistance, making them suitable for structural applications.
  • Chemical resistance: It is resistant to many chemicals, oils and solvents, making it more durable in harsh environments.
  • Thermal stability: Retains its properties at high temperatures and is often used in high temperature environments.
  • Dimensional Stability: Nylon has low moisture absorption and excellent dimensional stability, allowing parts to retain their shape and size.
  • Abrasion resistance: It has good abrasion resistance, making it ideal for applications where wear is a concern.
  • Gemak van Verwerking: Het nylon kan gemakkelijk worden verwerkt gebruikend diverse productiemethodes, met inbegrip van injectie het vormen, uitdrijving, en 3D druk.

Alternative for

The choice of using thermoplastic polyamides depends on specific application requirements, such as mechanical properties, thermal stability and chemical resistance. Alternatives may include other engineering thermoplastics, such as polyethylene, polypropylene or polycarbonate, depending on desired properties and cost considerations. The choice is influenced by factors such as the operating environment, regulatory requirements and the need for specific material properties. Thermoplastic polyamides are preferred when their unique combination of properties matches the needs of the application, especially in industries where high strength, heat resistance and chemical resistance are critical.
