Hepla® PA66, as a semi-crystalline material, has excellent properties of wear resistance, self-lubrication, electrical insulation, weatherability, self-extinguishment and mechanical strength. It can maintain strong strength and rigidity at high temperatures thanks to its excellent heat resistance characteristic.

The physical strength of modified Hepla® PA66 can be increased to as 5 times strong as that of normal resin, and its rigidity can be increased by 10 times. The injection of lubricant can improve Hepla® PA66’s wear resistance and friction performance. Its versatile properties make it available for almost any application requiring good physical strength, ductility, heat resistance, and chemical resistance.
