Glass Fiber Reinforced Nylon PA66 Compounds For Durable Industrial Components

Glass Fiber Reinforced Nylon PA66 Compounds For Durable Industrial Components

Product Description

Glass Fiber Reinforced Nylon PA66 compounds are advanced engineering plastics specifically designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial components. By incorporating 15–50% glass fiber into the nylon matrix, this material significantly enhances tensile strength, rigidity, and dimensional stability, making it a preferred choice for mechanical parts that require long service life and high reliability. Compared to unfilled nylon, glass fiber reinforced PA66 provides superior resistance to creep, wear, and heat deformation, ensuring consistent performance in demanding applications. Typical industrial uses include machine housings, gear wheels, mechanical couplings, electrical enclosures, and load-bearing structural parts.

Properties Data Sheet

Notes: The general guidelines are only for reference. Exact settings have to follow the product and machine conditions.

Avoid contact with other materials, dust and debris in the injection processing.

Avoid long time stay in the barrel in the injection processing.

Precautions

Before molding, pre-dry the granules at 80–100°C for 3–4 hours to prevent moisture absorption, which could lead to surface defects or reduced mechanical properties. When designing industrial parts, ensure uniform wall thickness to minimize internal stress. For applications involving continuous high loads or exposure to elevated temperatures, select higher glass fiber content (e.g., 30–40%). For outdoor industrial applications, UV-stabilized or heat-stabilized variants are recommended to maintain long-term performance.

Features, Advantages & Properties

• High mechanical strength: tensile strength up to 200% higher than unfilled nylon

• Excellent dimensional stability: reduced warpage and shrinkage in precision parts

• Superior fatigue and wear resistance, ideal for moving or rotating industrial components

• Thermal resistance: stable performance up to 120–150°C continuous use

• Customizable options: available in natural, black, and industrial grey; granule sizes tailored for injection molding or extrusion

• Cost-effective alternative to metals and other high-cost engineering plastics, with reduced weight and simplified processing

Working Principle & Applications

The addition of glass fiber creates a reinforcing network within the nylon matrix, significantly improving stiffness and resistance to mechanical stress. This reinforcement reduces creep deformation under load and enhances stability even in high-heat or high-humidity environments.

Applications include:

• Industrial machinery: gears, rollers, and couplings requiring long wear life

• Electrical equipment: insulating housings, connectors, and cable supports

• Structural parts: load-bearing brackets, machine bases, and reinforcement frames

• General industrial use: conveyor belt components, sliding parts, and pressure-resistant enclosures

By offering a balance of strength, lightweight design, and durability, Glass Fiber Reinforced Nylon PA66 compounds enable manufacturers to produce reliable industrial parts that maintain performance under constant stress, high load, and challenging environments.
