Nylon-PA is a common example of a polymer known as polyamide, which contains monomers joined by peptide bonds. Many variants of polyamide nylon exist and exhibit different properties, but generally speaking this thermoplastic material is rigid, translucent, has a long service life, and is creep and wear resistant. Lightweight, yet heavy duty, Nylon-PA is most suitable for applications involving toxic chemicals, high humidity levels, and extreme temperature conditions.
