High Impact Colored Nylon PA6 / PA66 Compounds For Long Lasting Power Tool Shells

High Impact Colored Nylon PA6/PA66 Compounds For Long-Lasting Power Tool Shells

Product Description

The High Impact Colored Nylon PA6/PA66 Compounds are engineered to deliver superior safety, durability, and aesthetic appeal for modern power tool housings. Unlike conventional plastics, this reinforced nylon grade is specifically optimized to withstand repeated mechanical stress, sudden impacts, and high operational heat, ensuring tools remain functional and visually appealing throughout their service life.

For today’s competitive power tool market, where ergonomics, reliability, and brand recognition play critical roles, this material provides the perfect balance of mechanical toughness and color brilliance. It enables manufacturers to produce lightweight yet durable housings in customized vibrant colors, ensuring tools not only perform well but also stand out on retail shelves.

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.

Usage Notes

• Drying: Dry at 80–100°C for 4–5 hours to maintain surface gloss and avoid molding defects.

• Molding Guidelines: Injection temperature between 240–280°C; mold temperature 70–100°C for uniform color dispersion.

• Color Consistency: Use UV-stabilized pigments for outdoor applications to prevent fading.

• Design Suggestions: Optimize ribbing and wall thickness to balance weight and strength.

• Safety: Ensure the molded housings meet tool certification standards such as UL, CE, or RoHS.

Features, Advantages & Technical Highlights

• Exceptional Impact Resistance – Survives drops, vibrations, and heavy-duty use without cracking.

• Heat Stability – Maintains dimensional accuracy and toughness under motor heat up to 140°C.

• Vibrant & Fade-Resistant Colors – Tailored for bright, eye-catching housings in red, blue, green, orange, or black.

• Long Service Life – Enhanced resistance to wear, scratches, and chemical exposure.

• Lightweight & Ergonomic – Easier tool handling, reduces operator fatigue.

• Surface Finish Options – Glossy, matte, or textured finish for different product branding requirements.

• Noise & Shock Absorption – Molecular design helps dampen vibrations for smoother tool operation.

Working Principle: The compound is modified with elastomeric impact modifiers and heat stabilizers, creating a polymer matrix that absorbs energy during impacts while maintaining stiffness and dimensional stability. This ensures a perfect balance of toughness and rigidity needed for protective housings.
