PA6 Sheet is made through extrusion, injection molding or calendering processes using polyamide 6 resin. It has outstanding characteristics and is widely used in many fields such as the automotive and electronics and electrical appliances industries. It is a crucial material in modern industry, helping to achieve product upgrades and meet high-performance requirements.
- High Strength and Toughness: It has considerable tensile and bending strength, capable of withstanding large external forces. When impacted, it can absorb energy to prevent breakage. It is used in automotive engines and transmission structures of industrial machinery to ensure stable operation under working conditions.
- Excellent Wear Resistance: It has a moderate surface hardness and a low coefficient of friction, resulting in less wear and maintaining surface finish and dimensional accuracy for a long time. It is commonly used in hub bearings of automobiles and other components to extend the service life of equipment.
- Strong Corrosion Resistance: It can tolerate a variety of chemical substances and resist erosion under certain conditions. It is used in pipelines of chemical equipment and reagent bottles in laboratories.
- Moderate Weather Resistance: It has stable performance indoors or under general outdoor sheltered conditions and can meet the requirements of some indoor and outdoor parts.
- Hygroscopic Property: It can absorb moisture from the environment. Appropriate moisture absorption can improve toughness, but it has an impact on high-precision components, so moisture-proof measures are needed.
- Dimensional Stability Affected by Hygroscopicity: Humidity affects dimensional stability. Product design should take this into account, and dimensional tolerances should be reserved or moisture-proof measures should be taken.
- Easy to Process and Form: Conventional equipment can be used for cutting, punching and other operations. The temperature range for thermoforming is between 180 °C and 260 °C. It can also be injection molded and is suitable for mass-producing small and precise parts.
- Capable of Secondary Processing: It is convenient for coating, printing and can also be combined with other materials to expand its application.
- Engine Components and Peripherals: It is used to manufacture intake manifolds and other components. With high strength, high toughness and heat resistance, it helps automobiles achieve lightweight design, improves power and reliability.
- Automotive Interior and Exterior Parts: Components such as seat adjustment mechanisms and rearview mirror housings use this sheet, which is wear-resistant, chemically resistant and has good appearance, improving product quality.
- Manufacturing of Precision Components: It is used to make brackets of computer hard disk drives and other components. With high precision and good performance, it ensures the accurate operation of equipment and extends the service life.
- Connectors and Switches: It can be injection molded into electronic connectors and switches. With good insulation, mechanical strength and dimensional accuracy, it meets the miniaturization requirements of products.
- Interior Decoration and Components: Interior components such as passenger cabin seat armrests use its lightweight and high-strength characteristics to meet safety requirements. It is also used in the housings of aerospace electronic equipment.
- Model and Prototype Manufacturing: With good processing performance, it is used for the development of models and prototype prototypes, accelerating research and development.
- Transmission System Components: It is used as gears, sprockets and other components. With high strength, high toughness and wear resistance, it can reliably transmit power and reduce costs.
- Automation Equipment Components: It is used to manufacture shafts, guide rail sliders and other components. With stable dimensions and fatigue resistance, it ensures high-precision positioning and operation.
- Textile Industry: Rollers in textile machinery use PA6 Sheet. It is wear-resistant, self-lubricating and has low adhesion to fibers, improving textile efficiency and quality. Moisture absorption also helps adjust humidity.
- Packaging Industry: It is used to make turnover boxes and other products. With high strength, wear resistance and chemical resistance, it ensures the safety and durability of packaging and protects the contents.
