Properties


Orgalloy® polyamide based thermoplastic alloys feature far superior properties compared to polyamide 6 and polyamide 6.6, including dimensional stability, outstanding chemical resistance and barrier properties. 

  

 

 

  • Outstanding dimensional stability

  

 

Initial state: 24 hours after moulding

In various test conditions, Orgalloy® RS 6000, RS 6600 and RS 6030 grades feature better dimensional stability than polyamide 6 and polyamide 6.6. Dimensional and weight variations are indeed smaller for Orgalloy® than for the others.

 

 

 

  • Very low moisture pick up

  

Benefits:    

  

- outstanding dimensional stability

- stable rigidity

After immersion in water at 23°C for several days, we can observe that flexural modulus for RS 6600 and RS 6000 Orgalloy® grades are more stable than for PA 6.6 or PA 6 

 

 

 

  • Very good chemical resistance

  

Benefits:

 

- Greater resistance to hydrolysis than PA6.

- Greater resistance to metallic salts than PA6

  • Orgalloy® barrier properties, a remarkable synergy 

  

Better barrier properties agains polar liquids than PA 6

Barrier agains aromatics: styrene, toluene

Barrier against gases: O2 , CO2 , pentane
