How to Choose Nylon Material: What is the Difference Between Nylon 6 and Nylon 66?
The differences in grades are mainly "heat resistance" and "impact strength"! A thorough comparison of features and applications up to PA11/12.
"Nylon (polyamide)" is widely used as an engineering plastic with excellent wear resistance and heat resistance, ranging from automotive parts to everyday goods. However, are you able to accurately understand and select the differences between the representative grades "Nylon 6 (PA6)" and "Nylon 66 (PA66)"? In this article, we will explain the two decisive differences (heat resistance, water absorption, impact strength) as well as "plant-based Nylon 11" and "low water-absorbing Nylon 12," which have recently gained attention as 3D printer materials. *For detailed content of the column, you can view it through the related links.
