High-Performance Flame-Resistant 50% LGF PA6 (LFT-PA6-HLGF50FR)
What is PA6 GF50 FR?
It's a strong, stiff,50%Long glass fiber reinforced polyamide6 composite with 94-V0 flame resistance performance. Our High-Performance (H) LFT grade enhances its strength and toughness by 5-10% over standard PA6 50%LGF versions.
What is a V-0 Flame Resistance (FR) Rating?
It's a critical safety standard (UL 94 V-0) indicating that the material self-extinguishes within 10 seconds after ignition, without dripping flammable particles.
LFT-PA6-HLGF50FR is where uncompromising safety meets elite performance. This grade was engineered to solve a critical challenge for designers of advanced auto parts, particularly for Electric Vehicles (EVs): the need for a material that is both structurally robust and verifiably flame resistant. In essence, this page introduces LFT-PA6-HLGF50FR, an advanced long-fiber composite that uniquely combines the mechanical strength of a high-performance PA6 LGF50 with certified UL 94 V-0 flame retardancy for safety-critical applications.
resistance and strength are non-negotiable.

Case Study: Safer, Lighter EV Battery Module Enclosure
The Challenge
A leading EV manufacturer, in partnership with Ford, needed a material for their next-generation battery module enclosures. The material had to meet three non-negotiable criteria: 1) Pass severe thermal runaway fire tests, requiring a UL 94 V-0 rating. 2) Provide superior impact protection for the battery cells in a crash scenario. 3) Be significantly lighter than the current aluminum solution to improve vehicle range.
The Solution: LFT-PA6-HLGF50FR
Our material was the only composite that met all three criteria without compromise. Its halogen-free flame retardant system achieved the V-0 rating, while the 40% long glass fiber network delivered the required strength and energy absorption. We worked closely with the client's engineering team, providing material data for their simulations and optimizing molding parameters for their complex part geometry.
Quantifiable Results
✓ Passed UL 94 V-0 at 1.5mm thickness
✓ 40% Weight Reduction vs. aluminum
✓ 15% Increase in battery pack energy density
✓ 100% Passed all OEM validation tests
