Polyphthalamide (PPA) is a thermoplastic in the Polyamide family. It has high heat resistance, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, tensile strength and dimensional stability. Unlike typical polyamide, PPA has good creep resistance and moisture 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.
Automotive: fuel and coolant lines, pump wear rings, motor bobbin parts, fuel line connectors, water heater manifolds fuel modules, fuel cut-off valves, thermostat housing, air coolers, coolant pumps, and LED headlights.
Electronics: hHigh melting point of PPA allows SMD parts molded from PPA to be assembled using a lead-free soldering process. PPAs are also used for USB-C connectors, LED mounts and cable/wire protection.
Other applications for PPA based resins include gas pipes and supply lines for the oil industry (due to their ability to withstand high pressures), Medical applications such as tubing for catheters, in personal care, for toothbrush bristles as well as hairbrushes. PPAs are also used in sports equipment, valve bodies for showers, bushings and bearing pads in aircraft engines.
