PA66 - polyamide 66

Other material names PA66: Polyamide 6.6, Nylon 6-6, 66, 6/6

Material group:

Polyamide

Polyamide PA66 has good rigidity, hardness, abrasion resistance and thermal dimensional stability. In addition, PA66 has outstanding wear resistance and low frictional properties. It also has very good temperature, chemical, and impact properties. Users should be aware of PA66 propensity to absorb moisture which could affect dimensional stability. In fact, PA66 will tend to absorb more moisture at saturation than cast PA6G.

Special features	samomazné vlastnosti					PA6 can absorb up to 7% (by weight) water under high humidity or submerged in water. This can result in dimensional changes up to 2% and a corresponding reduction of physical properties. Proper design techniques can frequently compensate for this factor.
