with different types of polymers, which have specific characteristics
and indication of use for the most varied environments.
Polyamides are thermoplastic synthetic materials that can be molded by heating without chemical decomposition or other changes in their properties.
They are known as Nylon, the name used by Dupont, which synthesized the first polyamide in 1935 through the chemist Wallace Hume Carothers.
Polyamide 6.6 has characteristics that allow the manufacture of clamps and fasteners with high tensile strength, high mechanical strength and the desirable flexibility and surface hardness.
It is the most used polyamide in the manufacture of FRONTEC clamps and fasteners, as its characteristics are suitable for a wide range of applications. PA 6.6 molecules are composed of two basic units with six carbon atoms in each of them.
Polyamide 4.6 features high temperature resistance without the need for special additives. It is used in the manufacture of FRONTEC clamps and fasteners for use in environments with a temperature of up to 135ºC.
The molecules of PA 4.6 are composed of two basic units, with four carbon atoms and one and six on the other.
