PA6 GF30 is a modified version of the classic polyamide 6 (PA6), reinforced with 30% glass fibres. This reinforcement significantly improves the mechanical and thermal properties of the base material, making it highly suitable for demanding and technical applications.
Main properties:
-
High mechanical strength and rigidity due to glass fibre reinforcement
-
Excellent dimensional stability
-
Enhanced thermal resistance (up to approx. 120–130 °C continuous temperature)
-
Reduced moisture absorption compared to standard PA6
-
Good chemical resistance (oils, greases, fuels)
-
Reduced impact toughness (due to material rigidity)
Typical applications:
-
Housings and structural parts in the automotive industry
-
Load-bearing components in mechanical engineering
-
Sliders, guides, bearing bushes
-
Gears and pulleys, where additional rigidity is required
-
Insulating parts in the electrical and electronic industry, where high insulation is not required
Standards and designations:
-
Standards:
– DIN EN ISO 1874
– ISO 1043 (material designation: PA6-GF30)
