Polyamide Chemical Information
in polyesters and polyamides. The first important polyamide was Nylon 6/6 produced by the reaction of adipic acid (a 6-carbon dibasic acid) and hexamethylene diamine (a 6-carbon aliphatic diamine). Several structural modifications with differing temperature capabilities have become commercially

. Reinforced grades of type 6/6T nylon resins also are available. Nylon 4/6 is the latest version of the short repeat-unit polyamides. Its melting point of 565°F is 54 °F above that for nylon 6/6 and is the highest in the polyamide family. The inherent molecular symmetry of nylon 4/6 results in self

Belt Camber: How to Fix Cambered Nylon Core Belting and Prevent Camber in Storage
Camber is the term used to describe an arc or curve that occurs in otherwise straight material. Generally, if camber occurs in belting, it is in a nylon (polyamide) core type material. Nylon core belting is more susceptible to camber than other types of belting because nylon tends to absorb

higher than those of the last two. Dynamic properties, such as flex life are also generally better. Newest TPEs are three classes of high-performance materials. One is based on polyamide (nylon) chemistry; another, called elastomeric alloys, consists of polymer alloys of an olefinic resin and rubber
