Polyamide 6 / Nylon 6
Brand: Sustamid® 6 — Röchling
Standards: ISO 1874, DIN 16773, ASTM D5989
PA 6 (Polyamide 6, Nylon 6) is a versatile engineering thermoplastic with high mechanical strength, good toughness and excellent wear resistance. It is widely used in gears, bearings, bushings, and structural components. Note: PA 6 absorbs moisture which affects dimensional stability — consider PA 6 GF or POM-C for precision parts.
