What is PA6 plastic? polyamide (PA), usually called Nylon, is a hetero-chain polymer containing amide group (-NHCo -) in the main chain. It can be divided into aliphatic group and aromatic group. It is the earliest developed and the most used thermoplastic engineering material. Polyamide main chain contains many repeated amide group, used as a plastic called nylon, used as a synthetic fiber called nylon. A variety of different polyamides can be prepared according to the number of carbon atoms contained in binary amines and dibasic acids or amino acids. At present, there are dozens of polyamides, among which polyamide-6, polyamide-66 and polyamide-610 are the most widely used. Polyamide-6 is an aliphatic polyamide, with light weight, strong strength, wear resistance, weak acid and alkali resistance and some organic solvents, easy molding and processing and other excellent properties, widely used in fiber, engineering plastics and thin films and other fields, but PA6 molecular chain segment contains strong polarity amide groups, easy to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, The product has the disadvantages of large water absorption, poor dimensional stability, low impact strength in dry state and low temperature, strong acid and alkali resistance. Advantages of nylon 6: High mechanical strength, good toughness, high tensile and compressive strength. Outstanding fatigue resistance, the parts after repeated bending can still maintain the original mechanical strength. High softening point, heat resistant. Smooth surface, small friction coefficient, wear-resistant. Corrosion resistance, very resistant to alkali and most salts, also resistant to weak acids, oil, gasoline, aromatic compounds and general solvents, aromatic compounds are inert, but not resistant to strong acids and oxidants. It can resist the corrosion of gasoline, oil, fat, alcohol, alkaline and so on, and has good anti-aging ability. It is self-extinguishing, non-toxic, odorless, good weather resistance, inert to biological erosion, and has good antibacterial and mildew resistance. Has excellent electrical performance, good electrical insulation, nylon volume resistance is high, high breakdown voltage resistance, in dry environment, can work frequency insulation material, even in high humidity environment still has good electrical insulation. Light weight, easy dyeing, easy forming, because of low melting viscosity, can flow quickly. Disadvantages of Nylon 6: Easy to absorb water, water absorption, saturated water can reach more than 3%. Poor light resistance, in the long-term high temperature environment will oxidize with oxygen in the air, the color turns brown at the beginning, and the subsequent surface is broken and cracked. Injection molding technology requirements more strict, the existence of trace moisture will cause great damage to the quality of molding; The dimensional stability of the product is difficult to control because of thermal expansion. The existence of sharp Angle in the product will lead to stress concentration and reduce the mechanical strength; If the wall thickness is not uniform, it will lead to the distortion and deformation of the parts. High precision of equipment is required in post-processing. Will absorb water, alcohol and swelling, not resistant to strong acid and oxidant, can not be used as acid-resistant materials. Why filling Long Glass Fiber? PA6 has excellent properties such as light weight, strong strength, abrasion resistance, weak acid and alkali resistance and some organic solvents, and easy molding and processing. It is widely used in the fields of fibers, engineering plastics and films. However, the molecular chain segment of PA6 contains highly polar amide groups, which are easy to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. The product has the disadvantages of large water absorption, poor dimensional stability, low impact strength in dry state and low temperature, strong acid and alkali resistance. With the development of science and technology and the improvement of life quality, the defects in some properties of traditional PA6 materials have limited its development in some fields. In order to improve the performance of PA6 and expand its application field, PA6 should be modified. Filling enhancement modification is a common method for physical modification of PA6. It refers to the modification of PA6 by adding fillers such as glass fiber and carbon fiber into the matrix to significantly improve the mechanical properties, flame retardant properties, thermal conductivity and dimensional stability of the material.

What is Polyamide? Polyamide (PA) Polyamide, which is also known by the trade name, Nylon, has excellent heat resistant properties, especially when combined with additives and filler materials. In addition to this, Nylon is very resistant to abrasion. Xiamen LFT offers a wide range of temperature-resistant nylons with many different filler materials. If you are not sure which PA material is suitable for you, please tell us your needs and our team will provide you with technical support free of charge. What is Polyamide 6? Nylon 6 or PA 6 Has a semi-crystalline structure and is used for nonwoven fabrics Ductility and Abrasion resistance What Are the Advantages of Nylon 6? The main advantages of nylon 6 are its stiffness and resistance to abrasion. Moreover, this material has excellent impact strength, wear resistance, and electrical insulating properties. Nylon 6 is a highly elastic and fatigue-resistant material, meaning it will return to its original proportions after being distorted by tension. This polyamide is non-toxic and can be combined with glass or carbon fibers to increase performance. The absorption capacity of the material grows in direct proportion to the quantity of moisture it absorbs. The high affinity of nylon 6 for some dyestuffs allows for more dyeing diversity, with the potential for brighter, deeper patterns. Can Nylon 6 Be Used in Plastic Injection Molding? Yes, Nylon 6 is a suitable material for injection molding. The resulting molded nylon parts possess great strength, as well as chemical and temperature resistance. When molding nylon 6, the material is sometimes injected with a specified amount of glass fibers (usually between 20% and 60%) to boost its tensile strength. Glass fibers improve stiffness. Moreover, since UV radiation can be harmful to nylon, a UV stabilizer is frequently added to the material before injection molding to decrease the possible degradation of the item with time. Is Nylon 6 a Copolymer? No, nylon 6 is not a copolymer. The clue is in the name “nylon 6” in which the 6 represents the single repeating monomer which has 6 carbon atoms. Nylon 6 is made through the polymerization of a monomer named caprolactam. Nylon 6 is not to be confused with nylon 6,6 which is made of two repeating monomers hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid; this makes it a copolymer. Two other nylons are also copolymers; they are nylon 6,12 and nylon 4,6. Why filling Long Glass Fiber into Polyamide 6? Long glass fiber reinforced composites can solve your problems when other methods of reinforced plastics do not provide the performance you need or if you want to replace metal with plastic. Long glass fiber reinforced composites can cost-effectively reduce the cost of goods and effectively improve the mechanical properties of engineering polymer .Long fibers can be uniformly distributed inside the product to form a network skeleton, thus improving the mechanical properties of the material product. LFT is the product name for a family of long fiber reinforced thermoplastic materials for Injection Molding, Compression Molding and Extrusion applications. These materials differ from standard thermoplastic compounds in the length of the fiberglass in the pellets. Retention of fiber length in the finished part is key to the performance of LFT. The fiberglass is continuous within the pellet and offers incredible properties and performance when molded correctly. What is the application of PA6-LGF?
