RANGE POLYAMIDE 6 amorphous - PA6-3T-
Characteristics of the PA6-3T
SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS
High degree of hardness and toughness.
Not susceptible to scratching and abrasion.
Good mechanical and electrical resistance.
Good potential as insulation.
Good chemical resistance.
Physiologically safe.
Sustainable transparency.
Amorphous Polyamide has excellent dielectric properties that are independent of water content.
High tracking resistance.
Good dielectric strength.
Mechanical and electrical properties vary
marginally depending on the usage temperature,
more at low temperatures (-40°C) than at high
temperatures (+100°C).
Use of T-PA6-3 in hot water above 60°C is not
recommended.
Heat deflection temperature under load
(HDT 1.8 N/mm2) 130°C
SPECIFIC PROPERTIES
Very good impact resistance.
Very good impact resistance (Charpy impact test,
unnotched, DIN 53453, unbroken specimen).
Good tensile strength with an elastic modulus of
2900 N/mm².
Good chemical resistance.
Good transparency (refractive index: n20 D =
1.566) 85% to 90% of visible light wavelengths
pass through.
Physiologically safe, may be used in contact with
food.
Good chemical resistance.
Amorphous polyamide resists well against weak alkalis, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, ethers and esters, trichloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride, toluene, benzole, oils, and fats.
It is not resistant to strong acids. However, it is
resistant to low concentrations of hydrochloric
acid, nitric acid, and sulphuric acid.
It resists well against cool water (20°C), but
immersion in hot water (80°C) alters its
mechanical properties and causes it to lose its
transparency.
PA6-3-T resists well against DOP, DIOP, and
DINP plasticisers.
PA6-3-T is self-extinguishing.
It has V2 classification under the UL 94 standard.
