PA66

Polyamide 66 (PA66), often referred to as nylon 66, is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic widely used in industry. It is known for its excellent mechanical properties, rigidity and temperature resistance.

Main features

High mechanical strength: PA66 offers exceptional tensile, compressive and impact strength, making it ideal for demanding applications.
Rigidity: High rigidity, even at high temperatures.
Good fatigue resistance: PA66 resists repeated loads well, making it a durable material.
Chemical resistance: It offers good resistance to many chemicals, including oils, fuels and solvents.
Low moisture absorption: Compared to PA6, PA66 absorbs less moisture, which ensures better dimensional stability.

Applications

Thanks to its properties, PA66 has a wide range of applications in different sectors:

Automotive industry: Manufacture of mechanical parts, gearboxes, electrical connectors, etc.
Domestic appliances: Manufacture of parts for washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators, etc.
Electrical and electronics industry: Manufacture of connectors, coils, insulators, etc.
Chemical industry: Manufacture of pumps, valves, piping, etc.
Other applications: Gears, bearings, 3D printer parts, etc.

Advantages of PA66

Versatility: PA66 can be moulded, extruded or machined to create a wide variety of shapes and parts.
Resistance to high temperatures: It can operate at high temperatures without losing its properties.
Good electrical insulation: Used in applications where good electrical insulation is required.
Recyclability: PA66 can be recycled, helping to reduce environmental impact.

Manufacture and processing of PA66

PA66 is produced by the polycondensation of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid. It can be transformed by various techniques such as :

Injection moulding: To manufacture complex parts in large series.
Extrusion: To produce profiles, tubes and films.
Machining: For precision parts.
