Material polyamide (PA)
Polyamide (PA) is one of the most important technical thermoplastics. The proven strength of polyamide tubing is its robustness.
Basic information on the material polyamide (PA)
Polyamides (PA for short) are processed into fibres in very large quantities. Well-known synthetic representatives of polyamides are marketed under the names Nylon (PA66), Perlon (PA6), Cordura and Kevlar. They are also among the most important technical thermoplastics.
They are tough materials with high strength and rigidity, excellent impact resistance and good abrasion and wear resistance. In its basic form, PA is a milky white thermoplastic that can be dyed in any colour.
Polyamides can be categorised into the following basic types based on the number of polar amide groups contained in their polymer chains: polyamide 6, polyamide 66, polyamide 11 and polyamide 12. We mainly process the polyamide types PA 6, PA 11 and PA 12 in a wide variety of designs.
Polyamides are among the most important and useful construction thermoplastics due to their outstanding wear resistance, good coefficient of friction and very good temperature resistance and impact strength. Polyamide is also characterised by very good chemical resistance and is a particularly oil-resistant plastic.
Pneumatic hoses made of PA or PUR?
We don't have just one pneumatic hose - we offer you a wide range of high-quality compressed air hoses in different materials and suitabilities. The decisive factor is the requirements placed on the hose:
- What pressure must the hose withstand?
- What are the space requirements during installation / assembly?
- What environmental influences is the hose exposed to?
- What media does the hose come into contact with?
- Are there any special regulations that the hose must fulfil?
