What is Nylon 6?
Nylon 6 (PA6) is a strong, lightweight engineering thermoplastic known for its excellent toughness, impact resistance, and wear properties. It offers good chemical resistance, high tensile strength, and low friction, making it ideal for demanding applications. Glass-filled grades further enhance stiffness, dimensional stability, and heat resistance.
Common Applications
Nylon 6 is widely used in automotive, industrial, and consumer applications. It is commonly found in gears, bearings, structural components, power tool housings, and mechanical parts requiring durability and resistance to wear. Glass-filled grades are preferred for applications demanding higher rigidity and strength, such as under-bonnet automotive parts and load-bearing components.
