Nylon is a high performance polymer material in traditional industry. Nylon has also become one of the most widely used materials in 3D printing. PA6, PA11, PA12, PA66 and so on often appear in the available materials for 3D printing. In form, it is divided into powder materials which can be used for powder bed 3D printing technology, such as selective laser sintering (SLS) and multi-jet fusion (M...

PA6, also known as nylon 6, is a translucent or opaque milky white particle, with thermoplastic, light weight, good toughness, chemical resistance and durability characteristics, generally used in auto parts, mechanical parts, electronic and electrical products, engineering accessories and other products. The chemical and physical properties of PA6 are similar to those of PA66; however, it has a l...

At present, modern design tends to lightweight requirements, the use of plastic proportion is increasing, no matter what industry, as long as the plastic can replace the absolute metal, plastic another advantage is the process of low cost, molding easier. Among the many polymer plastic materials, nylon is the leader, especially in the automotive industry, basically can not be separated from the ny...

Polyamide resin, the English name for polyamide, PA for short, commonly known as nylon (Nylon). It is a macromolecular main chain repeating units containing amide groups in the polymer of the general term. Is the five engineering plastics in the production of the largest, most varieties, the most widely used varieties, and other polymer blends and alloys, etc., to meet different special requiremen...

Plastics are ubiquitous in everyday life, from common consumer products to durable goods. In order to increase the strength of plastics, thermoplastic materials are often reinforced with glass or carbon fibers. In the face of high loads and impact stresses at high and low temperatures, which are often not matched by ordinary short fiberglass materials, polymers begin to soften or become brittle, a...

1 Material overview and characteristics PPA, full name polyphthalamide, is a semi-aromatic polyamide with no less than 55% terephthalic acid or phthalic acid as raw material, commonly known as aromatic high temperature nylon. Long-term operating temperature up to 180℃, short-term temperature resistance up to 290℃, with high modulus, high hardness, high cost performance, low water absorption, dimen...

What is PA12-LCF? PA12-LCF is a thermoplastic material, belonging to the nylon class. PA12-LCF is based on nylon 12, which has 12 carbon atoms in each polymer repeat unit. Nylon 12 is also known as polyamide 12 or PA12. It is a semi-crystalline material with a high melting point (180°C) and a low moisture absorption rate (0.5%). It is also resistant to chemicals, wear and impact. PA12-LCF is a mod...

Polyamide 6 is a porous material, and its water resistance is affected by many factors, such as the quality of the material itself, the type and amount of additives, and the way it is treated during processing. In this matter, is the heat resistance of glass fiber reinforced PA6 material excellent? Is glass fiber reinforced PA6 material heat resistant to water? 1. Introduction of PA6 materials Pol...

Nylon Nylon is the common name of polyamide (PA). It is a general name for thermoplastic resins containing repeating amide groups on the molecular main chain, including aliphatic polyamide, aliphatic-aromatic polyamide and aromatic polyamide. As the first of the five major engineering plastics, nylon has an extremely wide range of applications in industry, mainly in automotive parts, mechanical pa...

Polyamide is commonly known as nylon (PA), its main feature is that the polymer main chain contains a large number of amide groups, these amide groups are easy to form hydrogen bonds with each other, and the force between PA molecular chains is strong. Therefore, PA has the characteristics of high crystallinity, high surface hardness, good chemical stability, high tensile and bending strength, wea...

Introduction Fiber-reinforced polymer composites, due to their lightweight and high-strength characteristics, have found applications in many fields, especially in the transportation sector, where they can effectively reduce vehicle weight and better achieve energy savings and emission reductions. Among them, long glass fiber (LGF) reinforced polyamide materials (PA/LGF) are widely used in the man...

In the new energy vehicle materials industry, polymers encompass plastics, rubber, silicone materials, and composite fiber materials such as carbon fiber. To avoid safety hazards associated with high-voltage systems, materials for new energy vehicles must not only be heat-resistant but also flame-retardant. Therefore, Xiamen LFT has introduced a flame-retardant polyamide solution targeting manufac...
