Key Characteristics of PA9T
- Low water absorption: The water absorption of polyamide is determined by amide group concentration. Because of the long chain diamine structure, it is low in amide group concentration and is difficult to absorb water.
- High heat resistance: PA9T is excellent in mechanical properties at high temperature. Since the glass transition temperature is 125℃, it can withstand sufficiently even in the automobile engine room which has been heated.
- Blister resistance: PA9T is suppresses the occurrence of blisters. It has been proven to suppress blistering even after reflow.
- Dimensional stability: Among polyamides, it boasts the highest level of dimensional stability. It can also be used for products where dimensional change becomes a problem.
- Moldability: Since PA9T is a homopolymer, it has been confirmed that it has less generation of gas during molding and is superior in moldability compared to general high heat-resistant polyamide products.
- Electrical characteristics: PA9T shows excellent tracking resistance. Therefore, it is suitable for USB type C and power semiconductor modules, as well as connectors that require high voltage.
- Chemical resistance: Even when immersed in various chemicals such as gasoline and engine oil which can not be avoided in automotive applications, it boasts high strength retention rate.
- Good coloration: PA9T is often used for in-vehicle connectors because coloring is good and color change is small after reflow.
