1. Properties of PA610 Extruded Nylon Rod
The core characteristics of PA610 extruded nylon rod are balanced comprehensive mechanical properties, excellent weather resistance and chemical resistance, and strong processing adaptability, making it one of the commonly used nylon rods in engineering scenarios.
Core Physical and Mechanical Properties
- Moderate mechanical strength, with tensile strength, impact toughness and hardness at a medium to high level among nylon materials, capable of withstanding a certain load and impact.
- Outstanding wear resistance and good self-lubricating performance, with a low friction coefficient, suitable for manufacturing mechanical components requiring reduced friction.
- Better flexibility than PA66, not easy to brittle fracture, and can maintain a certain toughness in low-temperature environments, with a wide applicable temperature range (usually around -40℃ to 100℃).
Chemical and Environmental Adaptability
- Good chemical resistance, able to resist common media such as weak acids, weak alkalis, greases and detergents, and not easy to be eroded.
- Lower hygroscopicity than PA6, with stronger dimensional stability after molding, smaller deformation during use, and no frequent adjustment of fitting accuracy required.
- Good weather resistance, superior to ordinary nylon in resistance to aging from sunlight and oxygen, and not easy to brittle or degrade quickly when used outdoors for a long time.
Processing and Usage Characteristics
- Excellent extrusion moldability, with smooth surface and uniform size of the rod, which can be secondary processed by sawing, drilling, turning and other methods to meet various assembly requirements.
- Lightweight, with a density lower than that of metal, can replace some metal components to achieve lightweight, and is easy to install.
- Odorless and non-toxic, meeting environmental protection requirements, and some food-grade grades can be used for mechanical accessories related to food contact.
