Polyamide 6 (PA 6) is one of the most widely used engineering plastics and impresses with its excellent processing properties as well as solid general and thermal performance. Compared to polyamide 6.6 (PA 6.6), PA 6 offers higher impact strength, which is particularly advantageous in applications where high impact resistance is required. However, this comes at the expense of a lower modulus and higher moisture absorption. PA 6 is very similar to PA 6.6 and can easily be used as a substitute in many applications. Due to its lower viscosity in the molten state, PA 6 is easier to process, which often makes it the preferred choice for molding processes. It offers higher impact strength, but somewhat lower stiffness and increased water absorption, which plays a role in certain applications. In summary, PA 6 is a versatile and popular engineering plastic that is used in numerous applications due to its good properties. The balance between processability and mechanical properties makes it a preferred material in industry.
