PA 6/10 vs. Thermoplastic PI

Both PA 6/10 and thermoplastic PI are thermoplastics. There are 13 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (10, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is PA 6/10 and the bottom bar is thermoplastic PI.
