Application
Polyamide resin is often chosen for the manufacture of plastic gears and other components with sliding friction, not because it has the lowest coefficient of friction of the plastics but because it has superior properties such as wear-resistance when compared with lower friction polymers such as acetyl. Its high heat resistance makes it suitable for microwaveable and boil-in-bag pouches. It has been incorporated into numerous textiles used not only in clothing but in applications requiring light, strong fabrics: tents, parachutes, ropes, tire belts, etc
