Characteristics

Thermoplastic that offers an optimal combination of mechanical strength, wear resistance, rigidity, and toughness. All of these make this material a good electrical insulator and have good chemical resistance. Ideal for the manufacture of mechanical elements and for industrial maintenance. It is characterized by having very good fatigue resistance and good dielectric properties. In addition to high hardness and toughness, polyamides also have high resistance to thermal deformation (resistance to temperatures of -40ºC to +100ºC). However, since good mechanical properties are hardly achieved after conditioning the material, this material should be reconditioned after annealing. However, this conditioning will also occur with prolonged air storage.
