Polymer Type |
| Thermoplastic |
Advantages |
| Slightly better tensile strength, water absorption and flexural modulus than unmodified polyamide 6. Production of thick section cast mouldings possible without voiding. |
Disadvantages |
| Reduced elongation at break and notched izod impact strength when compared with unmodified polyamide 6. |
