PA Polyamide
PA Polyamide (Nylon) is a versatile, impact-resistant plastic widely used in industrial applications for its excellent mechanical properties and durability. Ideal for both outdoor and indoor use.
What is PA Polyamide?
PA Polyamide is a high-strength engineering plastic, also known as caprolon or nylon. It boasts exceptional mechanical resilience, making it perfect for high-stress environments. This material is widely employed in industries like food processing, automotive, and engineering due to its ease of machining, UV resistance, and resistance to oils, weak acids, and alkalis.
Applications of PA Polyamide
Food Industry Applications
PA Polyamide is hygienically safe, making it ideal for food processing equipment like sliding bearings, conveyor rollers, and sealing rings.
