Medium Performance Plastics
Polyamides (Nylon)
Polyamides, commonly known as Nylon, are engineering plastics widely used in industry thanks to their excellent mechanical strength, good dimensional stability and low friction coefficient. They are versatile materials, suited to applications that require wear and impact resistance and good performance in moving parts.
Technical specifications
Polyamides, commonly known as Nylon, are engineering plastics widely used in industry thanks to their excellent mechanical strength, good dimensional stability and low friction coefficient. They are versatile materials, suited to applications that require wear and impact resistance and good performance in moving parts.
They offer good chemical and thermal resistance, as well as excellent machinability, allowing technical components to be manufactured with precision. They are available in different types and formulations, which vary according to moisture absorption, stiffness and mechanical strength.
Advantages
Polyamides offer an efficient solution for replacing metals in industrial applications, combining strength, light weight and ease of processing.
High Mechanical Strength
Low Coefficient of Friction
Easy Machining & Installation
Usage Recommendations
• Store in a dry place, protected from excessive moisture.
