Nylon 66 material for machining has improved temperature resistance and lower rates of water absorption when compared to standard nylon 6.

Polyamides are used in the automotive industry for their light weight, low cost, and good mechanical properties. Specific automotive applications include engine air intakes, car gate, engine covers, pulley tensioners, fuel lines, fuel pumps, lights, and vehicle trim.

PPS is a high-performance, tough engineering plastic with great dimensional and thermal stability, as well as a wide operating temperature range of up to 260 °C and good chemical resistance. Moreover, PPS, like most other thermoplastics, is an electrical insulator. Its ability to be used at high temperatures coupled with its thermal stability makes PPS great for applications such as semiconductor components in machinery, bearings, and valve seats.
