- High-temperature resistance than other PA materials.
- Excellent mechanical properties.
- Polyamide 6 can be monomer cast. The method is suitable for large voltage-free details in short series.
- Unfilled PAs are food approved.
- It is hygroscopic, although less than PA 6.
- Like all polyamides, it absorbs or emits moisture.
- The moisture acts as a plasticizer and lowers the tensile strength, creep resistance, and rigidity while increasing the impact strength and component dimensions.
- The electrical properties are strongly influenced by the moisture content.
- The length extension varies with temperature and moisture content.
- The polyamides are attacked by strong mineral acids and acetic acid; they are dissolved by phenols. Some types are attacked by formic acid.
Specific properties
Nylatron® MC 901 is an impact-modified cast nylon 6 grade that exhibits stiffer, harder, and dimensionally more stable properties than unmodified nylons. This plastic offers higher toughness, flexibility, and damping properties, amongst other properties, without impairing the inherent properties of standard cast nylons.
