Compared with conventional nylons, Ertalon 4.6 features a better retention of stiffness and creep resistance over a wide range of temperatures as well as superior heat ageing resistance. Therefore, applications for Ertalon 4.6 are situated in the “higher temperature area” [80 – 150 °C] where stiffness, creep resistance, heat ageing resistance, fatigue strength and wear resistance of PA 6, PA 66, POM and PET fall short.
MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
- High mechanical resistance, creep and heat for extended periods of time
- Polyamide with higher temperature resistance
- Greater resistance to thermal aging
- Slight decrease in dimensional stability
- Good slip properties
- Good electrical insulation properties
- Excellent wear resistance
- High mechanical damping capacity
- Good resistance to high energy radiations (Gamma and X Rays)
- Easy machining
APPLICATIONS
- Applications in a higher temperature range (80 - 150 ° C)
- Applications where the mechanical strength, creep, stiffness, temperature and wear resistance of PA 6, PA 66, POM and PET are insufficient
