It is a material that is widely used in the machinery industry. It is a material that is relatively hard, rigid, slippery and has good mechanical strength values. It has various uses in gear applications, from wheel construction. However, it is not as hard and wear-resistant as Kestamid, and not as slippery as Derlin. Its strength is moderate, it is resistant to some acids and bases. Polyamide 6 has the ability to collect water in its body.

These features have good and bad sides. The good aspect increases the resistance of the part against vibration and sudden impacts. Thus, the part allows the dynamic stresses that will occur during use to be eliminated in the body. The downside is that it becomes difficult to achieve dimensional stability in the material. In other words, the material undergoes dimensional changes due to even humidity in the air, and tolerances must be observed before finishing the part.

It is used in the manufacture of simple gears, bearings, bolts, flanges, pulley belt pulleys, cutting plate, filter plate, bench top and all kinds of parts.
