Compared with virgin PA 66, this 30% glass fiber reinforced and heat stabilized nylon grade offers increased strength, stiffness, creep resistance and dimensional stability whilst retaining an excellent wear resistance. It also allows higher maximum service temperatures.

Product Overview.

High mechanical strength, stiffness, hardness and toughness
Good fatigue resistance
High mechanical damping ability
Good sliding properties
Excellent wear resistance
Good electrical insulating properties
Good resistance to high energy radiation (gamma- and X-rays)
Good machinability

Engineering Notes.

Nylons can absorb up to 7% (by weight) water under high humidity or submerged in water. This can result in dimensional changes up to 2% and a corresponding reduction of physical properties. Proper design techniques can frequently compensate for this factor.
