PA 4/6 vs. C82800 Copper
PA 4/6 and C82800 copper belong to fundamentally different material chemistries. PA 4/6 is a polymeric material, while C82800 copper is a metal. Therefore, their performance will be even more dissimilar than would be suggested by the difference in properties. There are 4 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (30, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is PA 4/6 and the bottom bar is C82800 copper.
