What are the uses of polyamide 6?

The following is an introduction to common applications of polyamide 6 (PA6):


 

I. Daily Necessities

▸Clothing Accessories

Zipper teeth: Wear-resistant and smooth, a rust-proof alternative to metal
Hook and loop fasteners: Resistant to deformation after repeated opening and closing
Backpack buckles: Lightweight and load-bearing, commonly used in outdoor gear

▸Household Goods

Kitchen tool handles: Heat-resistant and scald-proof, steam sterilizable
Bathroom shower head components - Bathroom Shower Head Assembly: Resistant to limescale corrosion, extending lifespan
Sliding Window Rollers: Quiet and wear-resistant, reducing track wear


 

II. Industrial Components

▸Mechanical Components

Conveyor Belt Bearings: Self-lubricating design, reducing maintenance
Light-load Gears: Lower noise than metal gears
Pipe Joints: Resistant to weak acids and alkalis, suitable for chemical applications

▸Automotive Components

Door Lock Mechanisms: Fiberglass reinforced impact-resistant
Accelerator Pedal Brackets: Excellent low-temperature toughness
Wire Harness Fixing Clips: Flame-retardant modification ensures safety


 

III. Electronics and Electrical Appliances

▸Structural Components

Router Housing: Electromagnetic shielding + heat dissipation design
Plug Clips: 0.3mm thin-walled precision molding
Power Tool Housings: Shock absorption and noise reduction

▸Functional Components

Coil Frames: Insulation and temperature resistance
Circuit Breaker Components: Flame-retardant rating meets standards


 

IV. Sports Equipment

▸Outdoor Equipment

Carabiners: Low-temperature brittleness resistance
Ski Board Bindings: -30 Ski bindings: Remains flexible at -30℃
Bicycle pedal bearings: Lubrication-free design

▸Sports Accessories

Racquet string guards: Reduce string wear
Diving equipment clips: Resistant to seawater corrosion


 

V. Special Scenarios

▸Safety Protection

Helmet webbing: High-strength and wear-resistant
Anti-static tool handles: Carbon black modified to prevent electric sparks

▸Medical Aids

Instrument handles: Medical-grade pure materials
Orthopedic components: Biocompatibility certified
