Nylon Polyamide (PA6)
Available forms:
– Granules
Overview
The name “nylons” refers to the group of plastics known as polyamides. Nylons are typified by amide groups (CONH) and encompass a range of material types (e.g. Nylon 6,6; Nylon 6,12; Nylon 4,6; Nylon 6; Nylon 12 etc.), providing an extremely broad range of available properties. Nylon is used in the production of film and fibre, but is also available as a moulding compound.
Characteristics
Application
– fishing line and carpets
– food packaging
– offering toughness and low gas permeability, and coupled with its
