PA is a subcategory of Polyamide. Its elastic modulus ranges from 150 to 410 MPa. Its flexural modulus ranges from 150 to 410 MPa. Its tensile strength ranges from 7400 to 12400 MPa at break. Its elongation at break ranges from 40 to 150 %. Its hardness ranges from 114 to 119 Rockwell R. Its specific gravity ranges from 1.08 to 1.14. Its melting temperature ranges from 200 to 255 °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 66), copolymer 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.
