Polyamide is a crystalline thermoplastic plastics, known for nylon, at the same time as a pioneer of synthetic fibers, is history even old plastic as a plastics material. Today, as industrial materials, abbreviated as PA polyamide based on chemical name has been widespread, and a general term for those containing amido groups in the molecule (NHCO), even if the number of carbon atoms attached to an amide group door to, nylon-6, nylon-66, nylon-11, a variety of polyamide, such as nylon-12 have been supplied to the market.
Nylon There are a variety of things due to the difference in the composition and structure in (polyamide), but I am with the following characteristics.
It has excellent heat resistance and low-temperature characteristics
It has excellent wear resistance
It has a low coefficient of friction
It has excellent self-lubricating
Oil, and is excellent in solvent resistance
It is a self-extinguishing
