Polyamide 66 (PA66, Nylon 66) is produced by reacting hexamethylene diamine and adipic acid. Nylon 66 is a semi-crystalline engineering resin that offers a good balance of mechanical and thermal properties, impact resistance, chemical resistance, and low friction and wear. Nylon 66 is processed by all common processing methods.
Typical applications for nylon 66 include interior, exterior and under-hood automotive components, electrical and electronic components, connectors, office furniture, cutlery and cooking utensils, lawn and garden tools, fiber and filaments, and film.
