General Info

GEHR PA 6.6™ Natural Extruded Nylon Plastic Rod is a high-performance engineering thermoplastic designed for structural and mechanical applications requiring high strength, rigidity, and wear resistance. This material adheres to ASTM D4066, the Standard Classification System for Nylon (Polyamide) Molding and Extrusion Materials.

Manufactured by GEHR and offered by Boedeker, this nylon is known for its low moisture absorption, increased surface hardness, and excellent dimensional stability, especially compared to standard PA 6 materials.

With a continuous operating temperature range of -22°F to +212°F (-30°C to +100°C), GEHR PA 6.6™ maintains performance in thermally demanding environments. It also offers abrasion resistance and good chemical resistance, making it ideal for parts exposed to mechanical friction, heat, and moderate chemical exposure.

While slightly less tough than PA 6 XT, GEHR PA 6.6™ provides enhanced rigidity and long-term wear performance, making it a preferred choice for precision-machined components, gears, bushings, rollers, and structural parts used in industrial equipment, automotive systems, and material handling applications.

Its natural (unpigmented) color ensures material purity and consistency during machining. The material's combination of mechanical strength and stability under load makes it ideal for high-performance applications where tight tolerances and durability are critical.
