Description
Product Overview
PA66 30% Glass Fiber Compound (PA66 GF30) is a high-performance polyamide reinforced with 30% glass fiber, offering exceptional mechanical strength, thermal stability, and dimensional stability. Engineered for demanding applications, this material provides superior rigidity, creep resistance, and toughness, making it ideal for replacing metals in automotive, electrical, and industrial components.
Key Features
- High Tensile Strength: Achieves a tensile strength of approximately 170–190 MPa, ensuring robust performance under high loads.
- Thermal Stability: Maintains integrity with a melting point of 260–265°C and a heat deflection temperature (HDT) of ~250°C at 1.8 MPa.
- Chemical Resistance: Resists oils, greases, and weak alkalis, though it has limited resistance to strong acids.
- Dimensional Stability: 30% glass fiber reinforcement minimizes warpage and thermal expansion for precise tolerances.
- High Toughness: Combines mechanical flexibility with excellent creep resistance, suitable for long-term load-bearing applications.
Applications
- Automotive: Engine components, intake manifolds, and structural parts requiring high strength and heat resistance.
- Electrical: High-insulation switches, connectors, circuit breakers, and cable ducts due to superior electrical properties.
- Industrial: Gears, bearings, and machinery parts benefiting from durability and corrosion resistance.
- Consumer Goods: Motorcycle helmets, office equipment casings, chair frames, and fishing rod components.
