- Characteristics
Glass fiber reinforced polyamide 6 injection molding compound. The material has chemical resistance to hydrocarbons, mineral oils, concentrated and weak alkalis, weak acids, high electric strength.
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Plastics & Elastomers Processing Methods
- Application
For automotive industry – gears, teeth wheels, bearing cages and other parts. The material is also used in electrical engineering and instrument-making industry.
- Processing
Melt temperature 230 ÷ 260 ºС. To avoid degradation it is recommended to limit injection molding temperature to 290 ºС.
Injection pressure 80 ÷ 130 MPa, recommended 90 MPa.
Mold temperature 50 ÷ 90 ºС. A higher mold temperature leads to higher shrinkage.

Regulatory & Compliance
- Recycling
Clean milled post production wastes could be recycled after mixing with fresh plastics. The amount of milled plastic added to natural plastic is controlled depending on final product quality requirements, it may reach up to 50 %. Final product properties depend rather more on quality of recycled or milled polyamide then on its share. Attention shall be paid not to use milled scraps having more than 0.2 % water.
Technical Details & Test Data
- Preprocessing
Processing moisture content < 0.2 %.
If drying becomes necessary:
- drying in dehumidified dryer, drying temperature 80ºС,
- drying time is dependent on moisture level.
