PA6, also known as nylon 6, is the abbreviation of polyamide 6. It is an engineering plastic with excellent mechanical properties, wear resistance and chemical resistance. PA6 materials are mainly divided into two types: PA6 (nylon 6) and modified PA6. Here are the main features of both types:
PA6 (nylon 6): This is a standard polyamide 6 with good mechanical strength, hardness and wear resistance. It can still maintain relatively good performance at high temperatures and is a common engineering plastic. PA6 is widely used in various fields, such as automobile parts, mechanical parts, electronic equipment, fibers and brushes, etc.
Modified PA6: Modified PA6 improves the performance of PA6 by adding different additives or changing the polymerization process. Some common modification methods include glass fiber reinforcement, mineral fillers, plasticizers, etc. These modifications can improve the stiffness, strength, heat resistance, chemical resistance and other properties of PA6, making it more suitable for special engineering applications.
