What is PA6 GF40 ?
LFT-G® NG04 PA6 GF40 is a 40% long glass fiber reinforced Polyamide6 composite with natural grade polymer. This glass reinforced plastic elevates performance by combining a versatile Polyamide 6 matrix with a 40% loading of long glass fiber. This reinforced polymer delivers a superior combination of high strength, increased stiffness, and robust impact toughness. The PA6 GF40 grade is engineered as a high-performance solution for replacing metal and lower-spec plastics in demanding automotive, industrial, and sporting goods applications where enhanced mechanical properties and thermal stability are essential.
What are the features of PA6 GF40
- High Mechanical Strength. The increased 40% long glass fiber loading provides superior tensile and flexural strength for more demanding structural parts.
- Excellent Impact Resistance. The robust internal fiber skeleton excels at absorbing and dissipating impact energy, ensuring high toughness and durability under dynamic loads.
- Good Thermal Stability. The Polyamide 6 matrix combined with high fiber content results in a high heat deflection temperature, suitable for parts operating near heat sources.
- Excellent Creep Resistance. This reinforced polymer strongly resists deformation under constant load, making it ideal for parts that require long-term dimensional integrity.
