Nylon (polyamide) is a crystalline plastic with superior mechanical properties, and has superior abrasion/wear resistance, chemical resistance (excluding mineral acids, phenols and the like) and oil resistance, as well as excellent performance as a gas barrier.
Nylon has a high melting point and high water absorption due to its chemical structure. The flexibility and impact resistance of nylon improves when it absorbs water. Nylon 66 has lower water absorption and higher rigidity compared to nylon 6.

PC is the only engineering plastic that is transparent. It is a non-crystalline plastic with outstanding impact resistance and can be used under a broad range of temperatures. PC also has superior creep resistance, and because of its low water absorption, has excellent dimension stability. Its electrical properties are also extremely good, but because of its low resistance to chemicals and propensity for stress cracks, care must be exercised.
