AKU®-AMID PA 6E SOLID RODS / ROUND RODS

In addition to their high strength, hardness and toughness , polyamides also have high heat resistance.
However, as the good mechanical properties are only achieved after conditioning , this material should be conditioned again after tempering.
However, this conditioning also occurs automatically during longer storage in air at .

PA 6E (polyamide 6E) rods are high-quality plastic rods made from the thermoplastic polymer polyamide 6E. 

They are characterized by their excellent strength, toughness and chemical resistance. PA 6E rods are particularly suitable for applications that require high mechanical strength and wear resistance, such as in mechanical engineering, the automotive industry and electrical engineering. 

Thanks to their robust properties, PA 6E rods offer a reliable and durable solution for a wide range of applications in various industries.

Polyamide 6

abbreviated to PA 6, is a thermoplastic polymer that belongs to the polyamide family. It is produced by the polymerization of caprolactam and is characterized by certain properties. 

Properties of polyamide 6:

  • High tensile strength:
    PA 6 has a high tensile strength, which makes it suitable for applications with mechanical loads.

  • Good impact resistance:
    The material shows good impact resistance, which means that it can absorb shocks and impacts well without breaking.

  • Stiffness:
    PA 6 has good stiffness, which makes it suitable for structural applications in various industries.

  • Good wear resistance:
    The high abrasion resistance of PA 6 makes it suitable for applications where abrasion plays a role, such as in bearing bushes or gears.

  • Chemical resistance:
    PA 6 is resistant to many chemicals, which makes it attractive for various industrial environments.

  • Low water absorption:
    PA 6 absorbs only small amounts of water, resulting in low moisture absorption.

  • Good processability:
    PA 6 is easy to process and can be formed by various processing methods such as injection molding, extrusion and compression molding.

Applications of polyamide 6:

PA 6 is used in various industries for specific applications, including

  • Automotive industry: Parts such as engine mounts, transmission housings, fuel lines and other components.

  • Electrical industry: Insulators, housings for electronic devices, switches and connectors.

  • Mechanical engineering: Gears, bearings, bushings, brackets and other structural components.

  • Textile industry: Fibers and yarns for the production of textiles.

  • Consumer goods: Various everyday items such as household appliances, snap-on fasteners and plastic parts.

Due to its balanced mechanical properties and versatility, PA 6 is a frequently used polyamide in various technical applications
