PA Pa6 Pa66

PA6 is a widely used engineering thermoplastic known for its good mechanical strength, high impact resistance, excellent wear resistance, and good chemical stability. It absorbs moisture more readily than PA66, which can affect dimensional stability but also improves toughness. PA6 is easy to process and suitable for a variety of injection molding and extrusion applications.
