In the world of injection molding, not all polymers behave alike. The unique characteristics of each material directly impact the quality of the final product—both in terms of appearance and internal...
Polyhexamethylene adipamide, commonly known as PA66, is a thermoplastic resin that is generally made from the condensation of adipic acid and hexamethylene amine.It insolubles in general solvents, only solubles in m-benzol, etc. Poly hexamethylene adipamide has the characteristics of high mechanical strength and hardness. It can be used as engineering plastics, mechanical accessories such as gears and lubricating bearings. It can also replace non-ferrous metal materials to make machine shells, automotive engine blades, etc., and can also be used to make synthetic fibers.
