PA-POLYAMIDE
PA 6 is a semi-crystalline, thermoplastic, extremely tough construction polymer with many applications. All PA absorbs or generate moisture. A wide range of properties can be achieved by modifying polyamide. This includes PA 6, 66, 11, 12, 610, 612, 46 and aromatic PA (crystalline and amorphous) where PA 6 is the most common. Often delivered blended with glassfibre, carbon fibre, oil or molybdenum sulphide (MoS2).
