Derivatives & Variations
Various derivative filaments with enhanced properties have been developed based on PA.
PA (Nylon)
Standard PA. Excellent wear resistance, toughness, and self-lubrication.
PA-CF
Carbon fiber reinforced. Lightweight and strong, used for drone parts.
PA-GF
Glass fiber reinforced. High rigidity, ideal for industrial gears and bearings.
Use Cases
Suitable Applications
- • Gears & bearings
- • Mechanical parts
- • Jigs & tools
- • Wear-resistant parts
- • Moving parts
Pros & Cons
Pros: Wear resistance, toughness, chemical resistance, flexibility
