PA66GF40

PA66 matrix +40% alkali-free silane-treated chopped glass fiber (by mass) modified high-strength engineering plastic; typically available in natural off-white and black, with customizable grades featuring UL94-V0 halogen-free flame retardancy, hydrolysis resistance, low-temperature toughening, low fiber flotation, and thermal stability; Its rigidity, heat resistance, and creep resistance are superior to those of GF35 and approach those of metal. It is primarily used as a heavy-duty replacement for metal structural components and serves as the main raw material for high-load precision parts.

Core Product Features

·  Ultra-high rigidity and creep resistance: A dense 40% glass-fiber reinforcement skeleton ensures dimensional stability under long-term loads, making it the top choice for heavy-duty load-bearing components;

·  The preferred choice for metal lightweighting: Strength comparable to die-cast aluminum alloys, yet lighter in weight, with injection molding efficiency surpassing die casting;

·  Comprehensive range of modified grades: Hydrolysis-resistant grades suitable for automotive cooling circuits; V0 flame-retardant grades for high-voltage power distribution; cold-resistant grades that do not crack at -35°C;

·  Controllable molding: Flow properties superior to GF50; smooth filling during injection molding of thick-walled, multi-cavity, heavy-duty parts; significantly fewer fiber floats compared to high-glass-fiber grades.

 

Technical Specifications

·  Heat Resistance: Heat deflection temperature at 1.8 MPa: 258–265 °C; heat deflection temperature at 0.45 MPa: 268–275 °C; continuous operating temperature: 120–140 °C; short-term peak temperature resistance: 210 °C; suitable for sustained high-temperature conditions in the engine compartment.

·  Chemical and Electrical Resistance: Resistant to engine oil, gasoline, coolant, hydraulic oil, and weak acids and alkalis; not resistant to concentrated strong acids; excellent insulation with CTI ≥ 580 V; all grades comply with RoHS and REACH environmental standards.

 

Processing Recommendations

·  Drying: Dehumidifying drying at 105–120°C for 4–6 hours, with a moisture content of <0.10%, to prevent silver streaks and bubbles;

·  Barrel temperature: Barrel 265–295°C, nozzle 275–290°C;

·  Mold Temperature: 90–110°C to optimize surface finish, suppress fiber protrusion, and stabilize product dimensional accuracy.
