Durethan® A,B
Durethan® is the brand name LANXESS uses for its polyamide 6 and polyamide 66 products. Polyamides are semi-crystalline plastics whose combination of characteristics makes them particularly suitable for technical applications.
These include: high mechanical strength and rigidity; good electrical insulation capabilities; high heat and chemical resistance; good sliding properties; wear resistance; and good noise and vibration damping. They also have exceptional processability.

Profile& Characteristics
- High-gloss or structured surface quality (depending on tool surface, excellent reproduction of detail)
- High rigidity (especially fiber glass reinforced models; tensile modulus: 1,300 to around 20,000 MPa (depending on moisture levels))
- High shock and breakage resistance - depends on type and moisture levels; elastomer modification provides good toughness even with low moisture levels, and if necessary at low temperatures
- High dynamic load bearing capacity
- Good stress fracture behavior
- High heat resistance - short-term: 170 to 200 °C, long-term: 110 to 200 °C
- High wear resistance
- Good chemical resistance, especially to fuels, lubricants, solvents, and cleaning agents
- Good mechanical and acoustic damping, good sliding properties, good gas barrier properties (film types)
