Nylon / Extruded
Within the polyamides, commonly referred to as "nylons", we distinguish different types. The most important ones are: PA6, PA66, PA 11 and PA 12.
The differences in physical properties which exist between these types are mainly determined by the composition and the structure of their molecular chains.
