Polyamide (PA)

Polyamide is a synthetic fibre often used for clothing such as women's stockings or sportswear. The basis is carbon atoms, which are extracted from petroleum. Depending on the cross-section, polyamide fibres can be matt to shiny, coarse or bulky to fine. Polyamides are tough, very strong and stiff and have good abrasion and wear resistance. In addition, the fabric offers certain capabilities. It is waterproof, quick-drying, robust and dimensionally stable as well as tear-resistant, durable and elastic.
