LFT-G® PA6 HLGF50 | The Ultimate High-Modulus Upgrade for PA6 GF50
LFT-G® 50% Long glass fiber PA6 (High Performance)
When standard PA6 GF50 reaches its breaking point, LFT-G® PA6-HLGF50 takes over. Standard short-fiber 50% glass nylon is strong, but it is brittle and prone to fatigue. Our "High Performance" (HLGF) series is engineered for applications where even standard long-fiber materials aren't enough.
This elite grade utilizes a proprietary coupling technology to maximize the bond between the Polyamide 6 matrix and the massive 50% Long Glass Fiber skeleton. The result is a composite with mechanical properties 10-15% higher than our natural grade, offering a flexural modulus that rivals aluminum while cutting weight by half. It is the definitive material for replacing heavy metal castings in safety-critical railway, automotive, and industrial systems.
- √ Ultimate Stiffness (+15%): Optimized interface bonding pushes the flexural modulus beyond 17,000 MPa, ensuring zero deflection under massive loads.
- √ Extreme Burst Strength: Ideal for pressure vessels and valve bodies where standard PA6 GF50 would crack under internal pressure.
- √ Superior Surface Finish: Advanced impregnation technology ensures fibers are fully wetted, reducing surface roughness common in high-glass content materials.

Processing Information
The following values are recommendations. We recommend desiccant / dry air dryers (moisture content below 0.1%).
To minimize fiber breakage and ensure optimal performance, a low-compression, general-purpose screw is highly recommended.
| Parameter | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Drying Temperature | 80 - 100 °C |
| Drying Time | 4 - 6 hours |
| Melt Temperature (Nozzle ③) | 240 - 280 °C |
| Mold Temperature (Zone ②) | 80 - 110 °C |
| Back Pressure | Low (to minimize fiber damage) |
