PA
Polyamide
A family of engineering polymers used when mechanical, thermal and wear performance beyond that of many commodity polymers is required.

COMMON APPLICATIONS
Where is PA used?
01Automotive
Injection-moulded technical components and functional parts.
02Industrial
Gears, brackets, housings and parts subjected to stress.
03Electrical/electronic
Components with mechanical and thermal requirements.
GRADES AND SELECTION CRITERIA
PA — engineering polyamides
Variants to distinguish
PA6A balance of mechanical properties, processability and cost for technical applications.
PA66Higher heat resistance and stiffness in numerous engineering applications.
Modified gradesImpact, reinforcement, lubrication or stabilisation can be tailored through specific compounded grades.
ApplicationInjection moulding, extrusion and technical parts require reviewing moisture, drying and processing temperature.
What we review before proposing a grade
- PA6 vs PA66
- reinforcement / impact
- moisture and conditioning
- temperature
- dimensional stability
Availability may come from different producers and international channels depending on grade.
