Filters from Polyamide 6

Filters from Polyamide 6

Filters from Polyamide 6 are used to purify and prepare water in the chemical, food and other industries.

Destination. Filters are intended for: mechanical filtration (FOV); sorption purification (FSU); ion exchange (FIPa, FISD).

Polyamide 6 is a thermoplastic polymer obtained by hydrolytic polyamidation of caprolactam. This is a structural polymer material in which excellent mechanical and chemical properties are optimally combined.

The use of polyamide materials.

Polyamide compositions of various grades of PA-6 were widely used at enterprises in the aviation, automotive, oil and engineering industries:

• unreinforced materials are necessary for the production of hoses, containers, profiles, cable insulation, pipelines, films, sheets and other polymeric goods;
• mineral-filled materials are used for the manufacture of industrial and hull parts that do not require additional processing during casting;
• reinforced materials containing polyamide 6 are necessary to perform various parts of automobiles, sports equipment, clamps, clips, wheels and other household items;
• self-extinguishing materials are used in electrical engineering, electronics and instrumentation;
• New polymeric materials with improved decorative appearance and increased fluidity serve as the basis for structural products.

Specifications Polyamide 6:

• Melting point: 220 ° C.
• Tensile Strength: 82 MPa.
• Bending Strength: 3300 MPa.
• Processability by depolymerization 100%.

Advantages of filters made of Polyamide 6:

• high mechanical strength, rigidity and hardness;
• good fatigue strength;
• good sliding properties (abrasion resistance);
• very high wear resistance;
• good insulating properties;
• high resistance to radiation energy (gamma and x-rays);
• withstands steam sterilization up to 140 ° C;
• good resistance to shock and vibration loads;
• high chemical resistance to oils, gasoline, alcohol, weak acids, dilute and concentrated alkalis;
• absolute non-toxicity;
• good frost resistance;
• water resistance;
• low flammability;
• relatively low price.

Technical characteristics of filters made of Polyamide 6:

• Working pressure: up to 1 MPa.
• Resistance to vacuum.
• Maximum working temperature: 50 ° C.
• Maximum allowable pressure drop: 0.4 MPa.
• Safety margin 4: 1.

All the main performance characteristics of the filters correspond to those of standard filters made of carbon steel.

Internal filter devices (NRU, VRU) are made of polypropylene or heavy-duty plastic PVDF.

The inner surface of the filters is additionally protected by a layer of polyethylene for maximum resistance to aggressive environments.

One of the most important characteristics of equipment made from Polyamide 6 is its complete environmental harmlessness. These products may be 100% recyclable!
