Polyamide

Polyamide (PA)—commonly known as nylon—is a class of synthetic polymer materials featuring repeating amide groups in their main chains. Capable of being processed into either synthetic fibers or engineering plastics, polyamides are characterized by high strength, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, and are widely used in sectors such as textiles, automotive manufacturing, and machinery.

Product Usage

Polyamide (commonly known as nylon, PA) is a thermoplastic polymer featuring amide groups (-CONH-) in its backbone. It combines high strength, wear resistance, self-lubricating properties, chemical resistance, and excellent electrical insulation, though it is characterized by high moisture absorption and dimensional stability that is significantly affected by humidity. Primarily utilized as a synthetic fiber and as one of the five major engineering plastics, it is widely used to replace metal in the automotive, electronics, machinery, and textile sectors.
