| Polyamide shows both a high thermostability and high stiffness, hardness and toughness. These are some of the main characteristics. Due to the fact, that the good mechanical characteristics will be achieved only after conditioning, this material must be conditioned again after annealing. In addition, this conditioning occurs with a longer storage in air automatically. Properties: - high impact strength and stiffness
- high impact and notching impact strength
- high heat deflection temperature
- good at dampening
- good glide and limp home characters
- good chemical stability against organic solvents and fuels
- size alteration by humidity absorption must be considered
- dimension stability, electrical and mechanical properties may become affected by absorbing moisture or water
Applications include bearing parts, gear wheels, pump parts, sliding rails, castors, and fittings. |
