PA66+GF15%

At GD Prototyping, we supply high-quality PA66+GF15%, a nylon 66 (Polyamide 66) reinforced with 15% glass fiber. This material offers an excellent balance of strength, stiffness, and toughness compared to unfilled PA66, while still retaining good processability. The addition of glass fiber enhances its mechanical performance, dimensional stability, and thermal resistance, making it a reliable choice for semi-structural applications where lightweight durability is required.

Applications of PA66 GF15% nylon

• Automotive Components – Used in under-the-hood parts, brackets, and housings where moderate heat and mechanical stress must be handled.
• Electrical and Electronics – Suitable for connectors, switch housings, and insulating parts requiring stability and strength.
• Industrial Machinery – Applied in gears, rollers, and machine covers that must resist wear and mechanical load.
• Consumer Goods – Found in power tool casings, sports equipment, and durable household items.
• Construction Applications – Used for fasteners, anchors, and fittings requiring toughness and dimensional accuracy.

Benefits

1. Improved Mechanical Strength: Reinforcement with 15% glass fiber increases tensile and flexural strength compared to unfilled PA66.
2. Enhanced Dimensional Stability: PA66 GF15% nylon resists warping and shrinkage, ensuring precision and reliability in molded parts.
3. Moderate Heat Resistance: With improved thermal properties, it maintains performance in medium-temperature environments.
4. Good Impact Strength: Balances stiffness with toughness, making it suitable for parts exposed to vibration, shocks, or repeated stress.
5. Wear and Friction Resistance: Performs well in applications involving sliding or contact with other components.
6. Balanced Processability: Easier to mold than higher glass-filled grades (like GF30%), offering a good compromise between strength and manufacturability.
