Molding and Extrusion Compound PA is a subcategory of Polyamide. It is specially formulated to molding and extrusion compound. Its elastic modulus ranges from 36 to 180 MPa. Its flexural modulus ranges from 27 to 190 MPa. Its tensile strength ranges from 5100 to 10000 MPa at break. Its flexural strength ranges from 1400 to 8100 MPa. Its Izod Impact strength ranges from 1 to 109 J/cm. Its elongation at break ranges from 250 to 390 %. Its hardness ranges from 70 to 109 Rockwell R. Its specific gravity ranges from 1.01 to 1.02. Its coefficient of thermal expansion ranges from 61 to 100 x 10-6/°C. Its melting temperature ranges from 125 to 155 °C. Its molding pressure ranges from 1 to 15 MPa.
Polyamide, also known as PA, is a thermoplastic polycondensate. Common trade names are Ultramid and Zytel. nylon (PA 12) It has high lubricity and moderate strength. It is tough, inexpensive, but has poor dimensional stability due to water absorption (hygroscopic nature). PA is commonly used to make high-lubricity parts such as bearings, blow moldings molds, and clothing fabrics.
