Polyamide 6 (PA6) has been developed more than 70 years and has become one of the most important engineering plastic due to its high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, suitable wear resistance and favorable self-lubricating property.

PA has good comprehensive properties, including mechanical properties, heat resistancewear resistance, chemical resistance, and selflubrication, and has a certain flame retardancy, and easy processing.

Polyamide 6 (PA 6) is a semicrystalline polyamide initially developed in order to emulate the properties of Nylon 6/6 without the violation of its patent. It is formed via ring-opening polymerization, which is unusual for a polyamide as they are typically formed via condensation polymerization. Modifications to PA 6 can be made to increase it's impact toughness.

Polyamide 6 (PA6) is formed from the loosening polymerization of caprolactam. Polyamide 6 or nylon 6 (PA6) is a hard, wear-resistant material. It has a better surface and appearance than nylon 66 (PA66). 

Polyamide(PA) are also commonly known as Nylon, and nylon is often material of choice when it comes to applications that require high strength, rigidity and flame retardant ability.  

Polyamide(PA) are also commonly known as Nylon, the most common types of polyamides are PA6 and PA66, which are characterized by balanced mechanical, electrical and tribological properties. Nylons are often material of choice when it comes to applications that require high strength, rigidity and flame retardant ability.

Nylon chips or Polyamide chips are the main raw material which are used in textiles as well as Engineering Plastic Industries. Few of the global manufacturers of nylon chips are India, China, and Taiwan. Nylon chips are mainly of two types: Nylon 6 Chips and Nylon 6,6 Chips.

Polyamide 6, Nylon 6, or polycaprolactam (PA6) is one of the major engineering thermoplastics. PA6 is tough, has excellent abrasion resistance, good chemical resistance, fatigue endurance, lubricity, impact strength, high strength, and rigidity.

PA6 characteristic The chemical and physical properties of PA6 are very similar to PA66, however, it has a lower melting point and a wide process, temperature range, using PA6.

Nylon, also known as Polyamide or PA, is just one of many high-performance in extruding. This polymer’s properties make it an excellent choice for a variety of tubing applications where chemical resistance, UV stability, abrasion resistance, strength, burst resistance and durability are needed. 

Polyamide 6 is the most common extruded polyamide and offers a balanced combination of all typical characteristics of this group of materials. Damping properties and impact strength of the material deserve to be emphasized as much as high toughness even at low temperatures. Good abrasion resistance, particularly against mating parts with rough surfaces, completes the typical performance package.

PA6 is one of the most important monadic nylons, mainly useful as a fibre-forming polymer and as an engineering plastic. We can synthesize PA6 via melt polymerization of either aminocaproic acid or caprolactam.
