Polyamide is a well-established and versatile material, belonging to the category of engineering plastics. Polyamide is characterized by high impact strength, good mechanical properties, and chemical resistance. Polyamide 6 (PA6) and polyamide 66 (PA66) are offered in a variety of grades, with or without additives, such as reinforcing glass fiber, carbon fiber, or other additives that impart desired properties. The material is common in the automotive industry and other sectors where strong, long-lasting constructions that are safe for the user are required.
