PA6-GF

PA6-GF (Polyamide-GR)

PA6-GR, This PA6 is reinforced with glass fiber. PA6-GF will be the right solution where higher stiffness and higher strength are required, compared to standard PA6. The combination of mechanical properties and chemical resistance makes this material suitable for many applications. PA6 has a high resistance to wear and dynamic loads. PA6 also has a larger working temperature range.

PA6-GF is not FDA approved.

PA6

PA6 is a thermoplastic material. The combination of mechanical properties and chemical resistance makes this material suitable for many applications. PA6 has a high resistance to wear and dynamic loads. This material is primarily used for sprockets.

PA materials will absorb water.
Absorption at 23°C (73°F), 50% RH: Up to 3%
Absorption at 23°C (73° F), 100% RH: Up to 9%

Chemical effects

Excellent: No attack, possibly slight absorption. No effect on mechanical properties.

Good: Slight attack by absorption. Some swelling and small reduction in mechanical properties likely.

Fair: Moderate attack of appreciable absorption. Material will have limited life.

Unsatisfactory: Material will decompose or dissolve in a short time.
