What Is Polyamide (Pennsylvanie) Nylon Injection Molding?
Polyamide (Pennsylvanie), commonly known as Nylon, is a family of thermoplastic polymers renowned for their exceptional mechanical strength, résistance à la chaleur, et polyvalence. Derived from polyamide monomers, Nylon’s molecular structure (repeating amide links) gives it unique properties that make it ideal for high-stress applications. Moulage par injection is a manufacturing process that melts Nylon pellets, injects the molten material into a custom mold cavity, cools it to solidify, and ejects the finished part. Ensemble, PA Nylon injection molding produces robust, reliable components that outperform many other plastics in demanding environments—from automotive engines to industrial machinery.

The PA Nylon Injection Molding Process: Step-by-Step Precision
Nylon’s unique characteristics—high melting point, sensibilité à l'humidité, and high viscosity—require a specialized, optimized process to ensure quality. Our workflow minimizes defects and maximizes performance, whether you’re producing 50 prototypes ou 500,000 pièces de production.
Étape 1: Préparation des matériaux (Critical for Nylon)
Nylon absorbs moisture rapidly (jusqu'à 3% of its weight in humid conditions), which causes bubbles, gauchissement, or brittleness in finished parts. Our preparation process eliminates this risk:
- Séchage: Nylon pellets are dried in dehumidifying dryers at 80–120°C for 4–8 hours (Pa6: 80°C/4hrs; PA66: 100°C/6hrs; glass-filled PA: 120°C/8hrs) to reduce moisture content to <0.1%.
- Additive/Filler Blending: Mix dried pellets with additifs (UV stabilizers for outdoor use, flame retardants for electronics) ou remplissage (glass fiber for extra strength, carbon fiber for conductivity).
- Stockage: Dried pellets are stored in sealed containers to prevent reabsorbing moisture before molding.
Étape 2: Conception de moisissure (Optimized for Nylon)
Nylon’s high shrinkage rate (1–3%, higher than most plastics) and rigidity require mold designs that account for these traits:
- Compensation du retrait: Molds are sized 1–3% larger than the final part to account for cooling shrinkage (Pa6: 2%; PA66: 1.5%; glass-filled PA66: 1%).
- Systèmes de refroidissement: Beryllium copper mold inserts (pour vite, refroidissement uniforme) reduce cycle time and prevent warping—critical for thick-walled parts (Par exemple, logements industriels).
- Angles de projet: Minimum 1–2° draft angles (contre. 0.5° for ABS) to ease ejection without damaging Nylon’s rigid structure.
Étape 3: Injection Parameters (Tailored to Nylon Grades)
Nylon’s high melting point and viscosity require precise parameter tuning to avoid degradation (jaunissant) or incomplete filling. Below are standard settings for two common grades:
Paramètre | Pa6 (À usage général) | PA66 (À haute résistance) | But |
Température du baril | 210–250 ° C | 250–280 ° C | Melts Nylon evenly without breaking down (too high = yellowing; too low = poor flow). |
Pression d'injection | 80–140 MPa | 100–160 MPa | Overcomes Nylon’s high viscosity to fill mold cavities (critical for thin-walled parts like electronic connectors). |
Température de moisissure | 40–80°C | 60–100°C | Réduit le stress interne; enhances crystallinity (for better strength) and surface finish. |
Temps de cycle | 25–40 seconds | 30–50 seconds | Balances cooling (Pour éviter la déformation) et vitesse de production. |
Étape 4: Opérations post-moulage
Après démouloir, PA Nylon parts may undergo:
- Garniture: Removing flash (excès de plastique) with automated tools—critical for parts requiring tight fits (Par exemple, boîtes de vitesses, composants de dispositifs médicaux).
- Recuit: Heating parts to 80–120°C for 1–2 hours, then cooling slowly—reduces internal stress and prevents warping (common for large or thick Nylon parts).
- Traitement de surface: Applying coatings, texturation, or printing (Voir section 5 pour plus de détails).
Inspection: QC checks for dimensional accuracy (laser measurement), résistance à la traction (ASTM D638), et résistance à la chaleur (thermogravimetric analysis).
Matériels: Choosing the Right PA Nylon Grade for Your Project
Not all Nylon is the same—each grade (Pa6, PA66, PA12, etc.) has unique properties tailored to specific applications. Selecting the right grade ensures your parts meet performance, coût, and sustainability goals.

Études de cas: Our PA Nylon Injection Molding Success Stories
Étude de cas 1: PA66-GF30 Automotive Suspension Brackets (Continued)
- Défi: Un constructeur automobile de premier plan nécessaire 200,000 suspension brackets that were lightweight (pour améliorer l'efficacité énergétique), strong enough to withstand 100,000+ km of road stress, et résistant à la chaleur (to handle engine bay temperatures up to 120°C). Their previous steel brackets added unnecessary weight, increasing fuel consumption.
- Solution: Nous avons recommandé PA66-GF30 (30% glass-filled PA66) for its high tensile strength (120 MPA) and 150°C continuous use temperature. Our team designed custom steel molds with shrinkage compensation (1% for PA66-GF30) and beryllium copper cooling inserts to prevent warping. We also added a UV-stabilized coating to protect the brackets from outdoor exposure.
- Résultats: The PA66-GF30 brackets were 40% plus léger que l'acier (reducing the car’s total weight by 2.5 kilos) and improved fuel efficiency by 3%. They passed 150,000 km durability tests with no cracks or deformation, and the automaker expanded their order to 500,000 units/year—citing our “ability to balance strength and lightweight design.”
Étude de cas 2: FDA-Compliant PA12 Medical Catheters
- Défi: Une entreprise de dispositifs médicaux avait besoin 50,000 flexible catheters that were biocompatible (rencontre ISO 10993), resistant to bodily fluids (sang, saline), and sterilizable via ethylene oxide (S'aligner). Their previous PP catheters were too rigid and caused patient discomfort.
- Solution: Nous avons sélectionné PA12 for its low water absorption (1.5%), flexibilité (elongation at break: 300%), and FDA compliance. Our process included drying PA12 pellets at 100°C for 6 heures (à <0.05% humidité) and using precision molds with smooth inner surfaces (Pour prévenir l'irritation des tissus). Post-molding, we applied a hydrophilic coating to reduce friction during insertion.
- Résultats: The PA12 catheters were 50% more flexible than PP alternatives, reducing patient discomfort scores by 40% (per clinical feedback). They passed 100+ EtO sterilization cycles with no degradation and met all ISO 10993 Normes de biocompatibilité. The client extended our partnership to produce their entire line of urological catheters.
Étude de cas 3: PA6-GF20 Industrial Gear Assemblies
- Défi: A manufacturer of conveyor systems needed 10,000 gear assemblies that could withstand continuous use (24/7 opération), resist lubricating oil, and have low wear (to reduce maintenance costs). Their previous ABS gears failed after 3 months of use due to low abrasion resistance.
- Solution: Nous avons utilisé PA6-GF20 (20% glass-filled PA6) for its high wear resistance (coefficient of friction: 0.20) and oil resistance. Our custom tooling included mold inserts with textured surfaces (to improve lubricant retention) and we optimized injection parameters (230°C barrel temperature, 120 Pression MPA) to ensure full filling of the gears’ teeth. Post-molding, we annealed the gears at 90°C for 2 hours to reduce internal stress.
Résultats: The PA6-GF20 gears lasted 18 mois (6x longer than ABS) et réduit les coûts de maintenance de 70%. They showed no swelling or degradation after 12 months of exposure to lubricating oil, and the client now uses our PA Nylon gears for all their conveyor systems worldwide.
