Tislamid® 6,6 is the registered trade mark for Polyamide 6,6 compounds produced by Tisan.
Polyamide 6,6 has a tighter molecular structure than Polyamide 6 due to a higher level of hydrogen bonding and maximum alignment between molecular chains, creating a tighter structure that better resists crushing, matting and stain penetration. Polyamide 6,6 is preferred over Polyamide 6 because of its higher strength and toughness.
The hygroscopic sensitivity of Polyamide 6,6 is lower than Polyamide 6 sensitivity. And Polyamide 6,6 the preferred Polyamide 6 for high temperature performance products.
Tislamid® 6,6 ensures a high impact resistance and excellent mechanical properties of the material. Tislamid® 6,6 product family features a wide range of materials, such as glass fiber, mineral filler, UV / light stabilized, impact modified, laser markable, heat resistant and flame-retardant and various type of additives.
Tislamid® 6,6 formulations can also be developed to meet specific market needs.
Tislamid® 6,6 is a fully recyclable material and it can be reused after regrinding.
The user shall always verify that the compound obtained by mixing virgin and reground material is suitable for the specific application and that its properties meet the requirements.
Tislamid® 6,6 grades can be provided fully colored in customized colors with narrow color specifications colorability even in light colors
Main specifications
Modification of Polyamide 6,6 by compounding with glass fiber, mineral fillers and other modifying additives produces a substantial change in the properties of the base material and gives to compositions based on Tislamid® 6,6 the following properties:
High stiffness, strength and temperature resistance, excellent impact resistance and toughness at low and high temperatures, high dynamic strength, very good abrasion resistance, hydrolytic stability (special grades), excellent chemical resistance, high wear and fatigue resistance even at high temperatures, good electrical properties. Flame retardant compound with halogen and halogen free, UL94 V-2 or V-0 classifications (UL approved grades), glow wire flammability index, glow wire ignition behavior (no flame), low smoke density and toxicity.
Fillers / reinforcements / modifiers
Glass fibers-glass beads-carbon fibers-aramid fibers-mineral fillers are available with varying contents in different combinations. And also filled materials containing PTFE and molybdenum disulphide are available for bearing materials with appropriately low friction and improved wear. Heat stabilizers-hydrolysis stabilizers-lubricants-UV stabilizers, electrical conductive etc. are being used in non-reinforced and reinforced grades to increase specific material properties.

Tislamid® 6,6 are supplied in pellet form in moisture-proof 25 kg aluminum layer bags. Other forms of packing like octabins and big-bags with PE or aluminum in-liners are also available. During storage the material should be keep away from moisture and heat. A dry storage room or area is recommended, also sacks are used to protect the material from damage. Damaged material or ripped sacks should be closed tightly or transferred to metal containers and in some cases, drying may be necessary before use.
