Rod PA PA® series

sheet

Due to its good thermal and mechanical properties, this semi-crystalline material belongs to the polymer group of engineering plastics. In addition to its high strength, hardness and toughness, it has a high heat deflection temperature of -40 °C to approx. +100 °C. However, the good damping capacity can only be achieved after conditioning, so this material should be re-conditioned after tempering. The material also has good sliding and dry-running properties. Due to the increased moisture absorption behaviour in comparison to other polymer materials, possible dimensional changes as well as changes in the mechanical and electrical properties must be taken into account prior to material configuration. This is a high-molecular and stress-reduced PA 6, which shows a very tough behaviour and which was produced by casting. Our round rods and sheets in natural colour comply with the food contact regulations according to 10/2011/EC. High strength and stiffness High impact and notch impact strength High heat deflection temperature Shock-absorbing properties Good sliding and dry running operating features 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 water absorption APPLICATIONS Bearing parts (good sliding properties) Gear wheels Pump parts Sliding rails Rollers (reduction of the noise level) Fittings
