What is nylon 6,10 used for? Let's take a brief look!

Nylon 610 (PA610) is a high-performance engineering plastic with a very balanced set of properties. It falls between the common Nylon 6 and higher-end nylon materials, and its unique characteristics make it very popular in many specific applications.

Here are its detailed uses and characteristics:

1. A "little helper" in daily life

Brushes and fibers: The bristles of your toothbrush and the zippers on your clothes are often made of Nylon 610. Compared to ordinary Nylon 6, it performs better in humid environments, is less prone to water absorption and deformation, and the bristles maintain their elasticity even after prolonged use, preventing them from becoming soft and limp.
Industrial brushes: It is also frequently used in the bristles of various cleaning machines and paint brushes because of its wear resistance and stable performance against various cleaning agents.

2. A "strong pillar" in automotive and industrial applications

Oil-resistant hoses: Under the hood of a car, there are many tubes that transport fluids or gases. Nylon 610 is particularly resistant to gasoline and lubricating oil, and has strong resistance to alternating hot and cold temperatures, so it is often used for automotive fuel lines, brake lines, or protective layers for electrical wires.
Precision small parts: Such as gears, bearings, or pulleys in small carts. It is tougher than ordinary plastics, has low friction, and operates with less noise.

3. A "safe outer layer" for electronics and electrical appliances

Insulation protection: In electrical equipment, it is often used for cable sheaths or connectors. Because of its excellent dimensional stability (it doesn't expand significantly after absorbing water), it can ensure the insulation safety of circuits even in humid weather, preventing electrical leakage.

4. Sports and outdoor equipment

Impact-resistant components: Such as tennis racket frames, bicycle parts, or stroller frames. Nylon 610 is both lightweight and strong, and is not easily cracked even after impact, making it ideal for sports equipment that is exposed to the elements.
