Nylon 6,6 also known as Polyamide 6,6 or PA6,6, is a synthetic polymer, produced from Polymerization of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid. Nylon 6,6 in comparison to Nylon 6 has higher modulus, better wear resistance and better chemical resistance to hydrocarbons.
However, Nylon 6,6 has less impact strength compared to Nylon 6.This affects the polymer during processing of intricate parts. To take care of this, Nylon 6,6 is modified by compounding with impact modifiers.
High stiffness - impact ratio
Better processability
Higher ductility
Useful in intricate moldings to avoid part breakages
Helpful in molding thin walled components to thick walled moldings
Helps in meeting various applications requiring higher ductility
Modified Nylon 6,6 finds application in molding various components for the diverse industries
