PA6+GF50 is a highly reinforced engineering thermoplastic formulated with 50% glass fiber to deliver exceptional mechanical strength, rigidity, and thermal stability. This ultra-stiff nylon compound is suitable for structural and load-bearing applications that require long-term performance under high mechanical and thermal stress.

Compared to PA6-GF30, the GF50 version offers even lower shrinkage, superior dimensional stability, and higher heat deflection temperature, making it ideal for replacement of metals in semi-structural components.

Typical Applications

Automotive: Engine mounts, pedal arms, oil pans, brackets, air intake manifolds

Electrical: Stiff support frames, terminal housings

Industrial Equipment: Pump housings, bearing blocks, support fixtures

Construction & Agriculture: Reinforced tool parts, machinery connectors

Technical Data (Typical Values)

Note: Data may vary based on specific grade (heat stabilized, lubricated, flame retardant).

FAQs

Q1: Why choose PA6 GF50 over GF30?
A: PA6 GF50 provides significantly higher stiffness, strength, and thermal performance—especially suited for metal replacement.

Q2: Can it be used in engine compartments?
A: Yes, heat-stabilized grades are engineered to perform under high temperatures up to 160°C continuously.

Q3: Is this material compatible with standard injection molding machines?
A: Yes, but wear-resistant screws and barrels are recommended due to the high glass content.

Q4: Can the material be made flame retardant and UV resistant at the same time?
A: Yes, hybrid formulations (FR+UV) are available upon request.
