High-molecular and semi-crystalline thermoplastic
Form-polymerised Polyamide 6

Properties

• high absorption of moisture of up to 3 % in standard atmosphere
  Results: in increased impact resistance.
  Please note: In thin-walled parts, reduced mechanical strength and dimensional stability
• excellent sliding properties
• extremely high abrasion resistance
• high mechanical strength coupled with high impact strength
• excellent machinability
• good adhesive properties
• good weldability

Field of application

Universally deployable parts exposed to high loading; frequently used as a substitute for aluminium or bronze. Also permits the production of large-volume parts.

Mechanical engineering

e.g. sliding parts, rollers, bushes

Offshore

e.g. bogies, cable winches

Vehicle construction

e.g. sliding parts, hoisting gear, rope pulleys

Foodstuffs industry

e.g. sliding parts, conveyor stars, spiral conveyors
