PA6 (polyamide 6) is a very robust and durable material that combines high ductility, elasticity and a smooth surface with a natural gloss. The material is resistant to chemicals such as acids and bases, as well as moisture.
The material has a unique property where a specific amount of absorbed water acts as a natural plasticiser, making the parts even stronger. PA6 is often used for injection moulded plastic parts where long lifespans are essential. It is a good choice for both prototypes and production.
PA6 is well suited for parts exposed to mechanical stress, wear, or chemicals. The material's combination of strength and elasticity makes it suitable for technical parts, gears or other parts where dimensional stability and wear resistance are essential.
Injection-moulded PA6 parts have high tensile strength thanks to the properties of the material. PA6 parts can withstand both static and dynamic loads. The elasticity also means that the material can withstand impacts without cracking, which extends the lifespan of parts in PA6.
With its high wear- and chemical resistance, PA6 is an excellent material for injection moulding. This makes the material ideal for industrial applications where plastic parts are exposed to demanding environments.
PA6 is slightly hygroscopic, which means that a certain amount of moisture absorption acts as a natural plasticiser. This further strengthens the material and makes it more resistant to cracks under stress.
At Idé-Pro, we have extensive experience with injection moulding in PA6, both for prototypes and series production. Our in-house plastic production offers great flexibility and short delivery times, regardless of the size or complexity of the item. By testing the design and function in the prototype phase, we ensure that the finished product meets all requirements.
When you choose us, you can be sure that we will always find a solution. Do you need injection-moulded plastic parts with larger dimensions and low weight? Then injection moulding in PP may be a good solution. We will find a material for injection moulding that matches your needs.
Whether you are planning prototypes or production, we can help you develop injection-moulded parts in PA6 that meet all requirements.
Contact us today, and we will review your needs and ensure efficient production from idea to product.
