Nylon 6/6 30% Glass Filled

Nylon 6/6 30% Glass Filled in CNC Machining and Injection molding

Nylon 6/6 30% Glass Filled is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic with the chemical name PA Polyamide Type 6/6.

It is a stronger and more rigid type of extruded Nylon 6/6 due to the addition of glass reinforcement. This makes the material better at withstanding pressure and friction. Unlike Nylon 6 (Cast grade), it can be extruded into various shapes like rods, tubing, and sheets. Custom shapes like hexagonal, square, and profiles are also available.

This material is known for its toughness and electrical insulating properties. It has good abrasion resistance and is usually used for fittings, pins, bushings, and structural components. With a low Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CoTE) and improved wear resistance, it is an excellent choice for electrical insulating, bearing, and wear components. Machining Nylon 6/6 30% Glass Filled into precision parts using standard metalworking equipment is easy. Tolerances of +/- 0.005mm can be achieved with experience, although faster tool wear may occur due to the glass content.

Basic Knowledge of Nylon 6/6 30% Glass Filled

Nylon 6/6 30% Glass Filled is an extruded nylon with 30% glass filler belonging to the Nylon solid polymer shapes family. It has been commercially available since 1948, developed by DuPont. Nylon 6/6 30% Glass Filled exhibits moderate ductility and flexibility, with a density of approximately 1.35 g/cm³, making it lightweight. It can withstand temperatures up to about 150°C (302°F) and shows good resistance to various chemicals, with low porosity. In terms of mechanical properties, this material has high hardness, with a tensile strength of around 150 MPa, flexural strength of around 200 MPa, and impact strength of approximately 50 kJ/m². It possesses high elasticity with a modulus of elasticity of around 7 GPa, along with good resistance to creep and wear. Machinability is moderate, and it is generally considered easily moldable.
