Polyamide
Polyamide, commonly called nylon, is a semi-crystalline polymer discovered in the 1930s. It has many uses in the textile industry, in household appliances and automotive equipment, and in electrical sockets and switches.
PA offers excellent mechanical properties and good resistance to heat and electricity. However, it can be sensitive to moisture. There are many polyamide grades suited to making different types of end caps and plastic parts. Among them, Rilsan (PA 11) stands out because it is derived from castor oil, which makes it a bioplastic.
