15% PTFE, 30% Glass Fiber Reinforced Lubricated PA is a subcategory of Polyamide. The additative is added by weight during the manufacturing process. Its flexural modulus ranges from 1100 to 1200 MPa. Its tensile strength ranges from 19500 to 20000 MPa at break. Its flexural strength ranges from 30500 to 31000 MPa. Its Izod Impact strength ranges from 2.5 to 3 J/cm. Its specific gravity ranges from 1.42 to 1.45. Its melting temperature ranges from 195 to 217 °C.
Polyamide, also known as PA, is a thermoplastic polycondensate. Common trade names are Ultramid and Zytel. nylon (PA 612) 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.
