[Wear Resistant Thermoplastics]
 
These compounds are common formulations which provide comparative information on the wear properties of this resin and various combinations of additives.

Instead of off-the-shelf solutions, RTP Company routinely develops specialty compounds with a precise combination of properties such as conductivity, flame retardance, structural reinforcement, color, and wear resistance to meet your exact application requirements.

RTP 4000 Series
Polyphthalamide
Compounds

Advantages
• Heat resistance
• Chemical resistance
• Relatively low moisture absorption
• Cost
• Strength or physical properties

Limitations
• Not inherently flame retardant
• Requires good drying equipment
• High processing temperature

Polyphthalamide (PPA) is a semi-crystalline, aromatic polyamide. Compared to nylon 6/6, it is stronger, stiffer, less sensitive to moisture, and has higher thermal capabilities. It has significant chemical fatigue and creep resistance.

PPA resins are suitable for a wide range of applications because of their outstanding physical, thermal and electrical properties. They can resist infrared soldering environments, unlike many other resins.
