Why Glass Fiber Reinforcement?
Adding glass fiber to nylon dramatically improves mechanical properties, making it suitable for demanding applications that unreinforced nylon cannot handle.
Property Improvements
| Eigendom | PA6 | PA6 + 30% GF |
|---|---|---|
| Treksterkte | 75 MPa | 150 MPa |
| Flexural Modulus | 2.8 GPa | 7.5 GPa |
| HDT (1.8 MPa) | 70°C | 205°C |
| Vochtabsorptie | 8% | 1.5% |
Toepassingen
