Chemical Structure Differences

The fundamental difference between PA6(나일론 6) 그리고 PA66 (Nylon 66) lies in their molecular structure:

  • Nylon 6: Made from caprolactam, has 6 carbon atoms in each repeating unit. Less crystalline structure.
  • Nylon 66: Made from hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid, has two 6-carbon chains. More crystalline structure.

Nylon 6 vs Nylon 66 — Frequently Asked Questions

Is Nylon 66 stronger than Nylon 6?

Yes. Nylon 66 typically offers 15-25% higher tensile strength (80-100 MPa vs 70-85 MPa) due to more crystalline structure.

Which nylon is better for gears?

Both work well. PA6 is preferred for impact-loaded gears due to higher toughness. PA66 is better for high-load, high-temperature applications.

Where can I source quality PA6 and PA66 granules?

Nylonplastic supplies both grades in natural, colored, and reinforced versions. Contact us for samples.
