Features

The semi-flexible tubes in Polyamide 6, also known commercially as Nylon 6 or PA6, have an excellent set of properties when compared to other polymeric materials and have more competitive prices compared to long chain polyamides (PA12, PA612 or PA11). Pipes with excellent performance and cost-effectiveness can be produced in Polyamide 6, making it one of the most sought-after materials for low and medium pressure applications for fluid flow. The tubes are manufactured in accordance with the requirements of the international standard DIN 73378.
