Material in the spotlight: Ertalon/Polyamide
Plastic comes in many types; each species is an ideal solution for different challenges. The possibilities and applications are virtually endless. Lakwijk Kunststoffen is your guide to the world of plastics. Every now and then we put a specific material in the spotlight. This time it is Ertalon.
Ertalon 6SA offers an optimal combination of mechanical strength and damping, stiffness, impact strength and wear resistance. These properties, coupled with excellent electrical insulating capacity and good chemical resistance, make Ertalon 6SA a universal material for industrial construction and maintenance.
Ertalon 6PLA is a cast variant of the Ertalon 6SA and shows many similarities. Ertalon 6PLA combines high mechanical strength, stiffness and hardness with good creep resistance, wear resistance, heat aging resistance and machinability.
Benefits of Ertalon:
- High mechanical strength, stiffness, hardness and toughness
- Good fatigue resistance
- High mechanical damping capacity
- Good sliding and emergency running properties
- Excellent wear resistance
- Good electrical insulating properties
- High resistance to high-energy radiation (gamma & X-rays)
- Good machinability
- Food grade
Ertalon is a good candidate for, among other things, gears, cable sheaves, rollers, guides and bearing parts.
