What is transparent PA

The characteristics of PA nylon

The mechanical properties of PA, such as tensile and compressive strength, vary with temperature and moisture absorption. Therefore, water is relatively the plasticizer of PA. After adding fiberglass, its tensile and compressive strength can be increased by about 2 times, and its temperature resistance can also be correspondingly improved. PA itself has a very high wear resistance, so it can operate continuously without lubrication. If you want to obtain a special lubrication effect, sulfides can be added to PA. Suitable plastic products: various gears, turbines, racks, cams, bearings, propellers, transmission belts. Other: The shrinkage rate of 1-2% needs to pay attention to the dimensional changes in moisture absorption after molding. Water absorption rate: can absorb 8% when saturated with 100% relative moisture absorption. Suitable wall thickness: 2-3.5mm

What is transparent PA

It has good tensile strength, impact resistance, rigidity, wear resistance, chemical resistance, surface hardness and other properties. It has a high transmittance, similar to optical glass, and a processing temperature of 300-315 ℃. During molding and processing, it is necessary to strictly control the temperature of the barrel. If the melt temperature is too high, it will cause discoloration of the product due to degradation, and if the temperature is too low, it will affect the transparency of the product due to poor plasticization. Try to keep the mold temperature as low as possible, as high mold temperatures can reduce the transparency of the product due to crystallization.

The main applications of nylon

With the acceleration of miniaturization of automobiles, high-performance electronic and electrical equipment, and lightweight mechanical equipment, the demand for nylon will be higher and greater. Especially as a structural material, nylon has high requirements for its strength, heat resistance, and cold resistance. The inherent drawbacks of nylon are also an important factor limiting its application, especially for the two major varieties PA6 and PA66, which have a strong price advantage compared to PA46, PAl2 and other varieties, although some performance cannot meet the requirements of related industry development. Therefore, it is necessary to target a certain application field and expand its application scope by modifying and improving certain performance. Due to the strong polarity of PA, it has strong moisture absorption and poor dimensional stability, but it can be improved through modification.
