PA6/PA66

Copolyamide 6/66

The copolymer of PA6 and PA66 melts between the two families and is more flexible. Its lower processing temperature makes it easy to run in film, monofilament and extruded profiles. It is an alternative to the homopolymers when more transparent and tougher parts are required.

Overview

PA6/PA66 is the standard grade of the PA6/PA66 family in the engineering plastics group. It is used in applications such as multilayer packaging film, monofilament and brush bristles, flexible extruded profiles. The grade with the right flow for injection, extrusion or another process is specified in the quotation together with your quantity and colour; TDS and SDS are sent with the quotation.

Documents

The supplier's technical data sheet (TDS) and safety data sheet (SDS) for PA6/PA66 are sent by e-mail with the quoted grade; because the same code has different sheets at different suppliers we do not publish a single file on the site. To see the sheet in advance, request it with the link below.
