Market Definition
Polyamides are engineering thermoplastics characterized by repeating amide bonds in their molecular structure. Known for their high mechanical strength, thermal stability, and chemical resistance, they are widely used in demanding applications. Common types include PA6 and PA66, along with high-performance variants tailored for specific requirements. Their versatility makes them suitable for use in automotive, electrical, industrial, and consumer goods. Polyamides can be reinforced or modified to enhance properties like impact strength or flame resistance.
