Ertalon® / Nylatron® PA

Within the polyamides, commonly referred to as “nylons”, we distinguish different types. The most important ones are PA 6, PA 66, PA 11 and PA 12. The differences in physical properties which exist between these types are mainly determined by the composition and the structure of their molecular chains.

• High mechanical strength, stiffness, hardness, and toughness.
• Good fatigue resistance.
• High mechanical damping ability.
• Good sliding properties.
• Excellent wear resistance.
• Good electrical insulating properties.
• Good resistance to high energy radiation (gamma- and X-rays).
• Good machinability.
