Cast Polyamide [PA6 G]

Cast polyamide [PA6 G] is a high–molecular-weight polyamide produced by the anionic polymerization process carried out inside closed molds. Because the polymerization occurs directly within the mold, the material develops a more homogeneous internal structure and significantly lower internal stress levels compared to extruded polyamides.
Its high molecular weight provides excellent wear resistance, high impact strength, and good fatigue performance. In addition, its vibration damping capability is higher than that of metals. These properties make it particularly suitable for mechanical systems operating under dynamic loads and impact conditions.
The casting process allows the production of large-diameter billets, thick plates, and semi-finished products with special geometries. This offers a significant advantage for heavy-duty industrial applications and components requiring high mechanical strength.

  • High mechanical strength, hardness, stiffness, and durability
  • Good fatigue resistance
  • Excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance
  • High mechanical damping ability
  • Good sliding properties

  • Excellent resistance to high-energy radiation [gamma and X-rays]
  • Good machinability
  • Cast polyamides may undergo dimensional changes due to moisture absorption. The equilibrium moisture content of the operating environment should therefore be considered when designing parts requiring tight tolerances.
  • For applications requiring high wear and friction resistance, lubricated or MoS₂-filled cast polyamide grades may improve performance and service life.
