NYLON 66 FEATURE

Nylon 66 is a type of nylon, a synthetic polymer known for its strength, elasticity, and versatility. It’s formed by reacting two different chemicals, hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid.

• High strength and abrasion resistance: Makes it suitable for applications requiring wear and tear tolerance.
• Добра химическа устойчивост: Resists many common chemicals like oils, fuels, and some alkalis.
• Ниска абсорбция на влага: Compared to other nylons, PA66 absorbs less water, making it dimensionally stable.
• Висока точка на топене: Allows it to withstand high temperatures without melting or deforming.
• Good electrical insulation: Makes it useful in electrical applications.

While similar, Nylon 6 and Nylon 66 have some key differences:

• Абсорбция на вода: PA6 absorbs more water, affecting dimensional stability.
• Heat deflection: PA6 has a lower heat deflection temperature than PA66.
• Химическа устойчивост: PA66 generally offers better chemical resistance.

PA66 has a wide range of applications due to its properties. Here are some examples:

• Влакна: Used in textiles like carpets, clothing, and sportswear.
• Инженерни части: Gears, bearings, fasteners, and other mechanical components.
• Автомобилни части: Engine components, hoses, and other under-the-hood applications.
• Електрически компоненти: Wire insulation, connectors, and housings.

• When melting or processing PA66, fumes may be released. Proper ventilation is crucial to avoid inhaling these fumes.
• Molten PA66 can cause burns. Wear appropriate gloves and eye protection when handling hot material.
• PA66 dust can irritate the skin and respiratory system. Wear appropriate dust masks and clothing when working with PA66 in powdered or dust form.
