Polyamide 46 (PA 46) is a high temperature polyamide
providing unmatched performance across an amazingly broad range of
technical applications such as automotive, E&E, and industry. PA 46's performance characteristics include outstanding mechanical properties at high temperatures, excellent resistance to wear, low friction as well as excellent chemical resistance.
In particular in gear applications, PA 46 offers a combination of excellent performance, design freedom and productivity.
PA 46 is often used to replace metal in demanding, high temperature applications.
All of these highly interesting performances are available in Stanyl®,
DSM's high temperature Polyamide 46.
Cost Savings by Miniaturization For high temperature gear applications, PA 46 allows weight savings from 40 to up to 80% compared to other engineering
polymers. This leads to a significant space and cost saving in the gear systems.
Excellent
wear Resistance (High Durability) Stanyl® has an excellent abrasion resistance (or wear resistance)
and outperforms most other engineering/high performance plastics under most
conditions but especially at higher temperatures or high torque/loads.
With Stanyl® your gears run faster and longer!
