PA plastics, also known as polyamides, are polymers that are used to make a wide range of products and components. These plastics have many properties, the benefits of which find application in various fields.
Properties of PA plastics
- High strength and hardness: PA plastics have high strength and hardness, which means they are resistant to wear and breakage. They can function effectively in challenging situations.
- Good temperature resistance: PA plastics have good resistance to high temperatures.
- Resistance to solvents: The resistance of PA plastics to many solvents finds application mainly in the chemical industry.
- High UV resistance: some PA plastics are highly UV resistant, making them ideal for outdoor use.
Application of PA plastics
Due to their properties, PA plastics are suitable for a wide range of applications, the most common being:
- Automotive: PA plastics are often used to make engine components such as valve covers, gears, injection nozzles and other engine parts. These components need to be strong, mechanically robust and resistant to high temperatures, which are properties that PA plastics offer.
- Electrical industry: PA plastics are also popular in the electrical industry due to their resistance to heat, chemicals and high voltage. These plastics are used for the manufacture of enclosures and cable hangers.
- Textile industry: Certain types of PA plastics, such as nylon, are used to make textile fibres and fabrics. These materials are strong and wear-resistant, making them suitable for use in swimwear or outdoor clothing, for example.
- Food industry: Certain types of PA plastics, such as PA11 and PA12, are used in the food industry to make food packaging, hoses and tubes. These plastics are able to withstand high temperatures and do not affect the taste or odour of food.
- Construction: in the construction industry, PA plastics are used to produce insulation materials such as polyamide foam boards and sheets.
- Healthcare: in the healthcare sector, PA plastics are used for the manufacture of instruments, implants and other medical devices due to their sterilization resistance and biocompatibility.
The application of PA plastics is really wide, it is mainly due to the durability and reliability of the material. Contact us and we will advise you on how you can implement PA palsts effectively.
