Polyamide 6 (Cast)
Standards: ISO 1874, ASTM D5989
PA 6 G (Cast Polyamide 6) is produced by anionic polymerisation, yielding higher molecular weight and better mechanical properties than extruded PA 6. Available in large cross-sections up to 200mm. Excellent wear resistance, high impact strength and good machinability. Used for large gears, wheels, bearings and structural components. Note: absorbs moisture — condition before use in precision applications.
