GF30 PA66 Glass Fiber Plastic Pellet
What is PA66 GF30 material?
30% Long Glass Fiber reinforced PA66 (LGF30 PA66) material is a high-performance engineering plastic composite material with polyamide 66 (PA66, nylon 66) as the matrix resin and 30% long glass fiber (LGF) added for reinforcement. It demonstrates outstanding mechanical properties such as higher strength, rigidity, creep strength and dimensional stability. It is precisely because of its excellent mechanical properties that GF30 PA66 composite has been fully applied in a wide variety of fields.
The emergence and development of long fiber reinforced plastics (LFRT) stem from the pursuit of high-performance composite materials. Early reinforced plastics mainly used short glass fibers (SFRT), but due to insufficient fiber length (<1mm), their mechanical properties were limited. Therefore, the emergence of long-fiber materials has effectively solved this problem. Retaining longer fibers can significantly enhance the toughness, impact resistance and fatigue life of materials, which has driven the emergence of long-fiber technology.

What is PA6 GF30 used for?
Automotive industry (core application field)
Engine peripheral components: intake manifold, engine hood cover, throttle body, turbocharger pipeline (high-temperature resistant, oil-resistant).
Structural components: Front-end module bracket, door handle base, seat frame, battery bracket (high rigidity, lightweight).
Transmission system: Gearbox bearing bracket, clutch pedal (wear-resistant and fatigue-resistant).
New energy vehicles: motor housing, charging gun housing (flame-retardant modified version required).
Electronic appliances
Connectors and sockets: High current terminals, USB-C interfaces (high heat resistance, dimensional stability).
5G equipment: Antenna housing, base station heat dissipation components (weather resistance + low dielectric loss).
Electric tools: electric drill gears, brushless motor housings (impact-resistant and wear-resistant).

Industrial machine
Gears and bearings: High-load transmission components (replacing metals and reducing noise).
Pump and valve assembly: Chemical pump impeller, valve housing (resistant to chemical corrosion).
Conveying system: chain guide rails, conveyor components (wear-resistant, low friction).
Consumer goods and sports equipment
Sports equipment: Ski bindings, bicycle pedals (high-strength + lightweight).
Household appliances: Washing machine turbine, vacuum cleaner motor bracket (fatigue-resistant, anti-deformation).
Key Advantage of LGF30 PA66 Composite

Outstanding mechanical properties
High strength & high rigidity: High tensile strength. It has a high flexural modulus but is lightweight.
Excellent impact resistance: The notched impact strength of the cantilever beam and the "bridging effect" of long fibers can effectively prevent crack propagation, making it suitable for dynamic load components (such as automotive bumper brackets).
Fatigue resistance: Slow performance degradation under cyclic stress, suitable for long-term moving parts such as gears and bearings.
Outstanding high-temperature resistance
The heat distortion temperature (HDT, 1.82MPa) reaches 250-260°C, and it can withstand high temperatures in the short term (such as engine compartment components).
The temperature increases over long-term use.
Lightweight and design freedom
With a density of only 1.3-1.5 g/cm³, it has a remarkable weight loss effect.
Complex formability: Integrated design is achieved through injection molding process, reducing assembly procedures.
Excellent dimensional stability
Low shrinkage rate: Minimal deformation after injection molding, suitable for precision structural components (such as electronic connectors).
Low creep: The deformation under long-term loading is much lower than that of ordinary plastics.
Chemical resistance and environmental adaptability
Oil-resistant and fuel-resistant: Suitable for automotive fuel system components (such as fuel pump housings).
Acid and alkali resistance: Stable to weak acids, weak bases and salt solutions (but caution is needed for strong acids/strong bases).
Aging resistance: It can be used outdoors through UV modification (such as the shell of a drone).
