Polyamides

Polyamides used as engineering thermoplastics are highly crystalline linear condensation polymers known as nylons. Polyamides are noted for their outstanding physical properties, high tensile strength, resistance to creep, abrasion, chemical and heat resistance. For some applications they are glass-fiber or mineral-filled to increase strength or reduce warping and increased dimensional stability. Great Lakes offers a line of brominated and halogen-free flame retardants, as well as organics for use in polyamide processing.
