As a type of thermoplastic polymer, many know Nylon 6/6 as a polyamide with a long list of benefits due to its molecular structure. As a product of the polymerization process between hexamethylene diamine and adipic acid, its repeating amide linkages give it a high melting point, low friction, electrical insulating properties, and several other advantages. Due to these, Nylon 6/6 is one of the most widely used nylons for machining in the USA.
