Polyamide, which is also known by the trade name, Nylon, has excellent heat resistant properties, especially when combined with additives and filler materials. In addition to this, Nylon is very resistant to abrasion. Xiamen LFT offers a wide range of temperature-resistant nylons with many different filler materials. About PA66-LGF compounds Nylon 6,6, also written as nylon 6-6, nylon 66, or nylon 6/6, is a more crystalline version of nylon 6. It is also referred to as polyamide 66 or PA 66. It has improved mechanical properties due to its more ordered molecular structure. Nylon 66 for machining has improved temperature resistance and lower rates of water absorption when compared to standard nylon 6.  The advantages of nylon 6,6 are that the yield strength is higher than nylon 6 and nylon 610. It has high strength, toughness, rigidity, and low coefficient of friction in a wide temperature range. In addition, it is oil resistant and resistant to chemical reagents and solvents. However, PA66 has strong hygroscopicity and poor dimensional stability, which limits its application. In order to obtain nylon 66 engineering material with higher strength, it should be modified by glass fiber reinforcement. The mechanical properties of long glass fiber reinforced nylon 66 (LGFR-PA66) are obviously better than those of short glass fiber reinforced nylon 66 (SGFR-PA66), and the molding processing performance is also better. It can be molded by various molding methods such as injection molding and compression molding, and complex components can also be formed. Therefore, long glass fiber reinforced nylon 66 can be widely used in building materials, aerospace, electronic devices, furniture and other fields, especially in the automotive industry application market. The production process of long glass fiber reinforced nylon 66 is different from that of short glass fiber reinforced nylon 66. The short glass fiber reinforced nylon 66 particle is chopped under the friction and shearing of screw and barrel, and the short glass fiber reinforced nylon 66 particle is obtained with the length of glass fiber monofilament about 0.5mm. The length of some glass fiber monofilament in the final product is lower than the critical length of reinforcement, and the glass fiber is easy to be extracted from the nylon 66 matrix when the product is stressed. The strength of glass fiber is not fully utilized, and the mechanical properties of the product are not high. Long glass fiber reinforced nylon 66 has better reinforcement effect and dimensional stability, and the rigidity, tensile, bending, impact resistance and fatigue resistance of the manufactured products are better, and the service life is longer.

PA6 Material Overview PA6 (Polyamide 6) is a widely used engineering plastic with excellent balanced performance. Its raw materials are readily available and cost-effective, making it accessible without dependence on foreign technology. However, PA6 has some limitations such as high water absorption, lower low-temperature impact toughness, and moderate dimensional stability. To overcome these limitations, PA6 is often reinforced with glass fiber (GF) to enhance mechanical properties. PA6-LGF (Long Glass Fiber Reinforced PA6) 1. Influence of Glass Fiber Content Glass fiber content is a key factor in the performance of reinforced composites. Increasing fiber content increases fiber density, thinning the PA6 matrix between fibers. This enhances impact toughness, tensile strength, and bending strength. Example: For PA6-LGF, increasing fiber content to 35% raised notch impact strength from 24.8 J/m to 128.5 J/m. However, excessive fiber content can reduce impact strength. Bending strength also improves as fibers transfer stress and absorb energy when broken, with experimental results showing bending modulus up to 4.99 GPa for 35% LGF. 2. Influence of Fiber Retention Length Fiber length significantly affects mechanical properties. When fiber length is below the critical length, increasing length improves resin-fiber bonding and tensile load resistance. When fiber exceeds the critical length, longer fibers absorb more impact energy and improve impact strength, as the number of fiber ends (crack initiation points) decreases. Example: At 40% fiber content, increasing fiber length from 4mm to 13mm improved tensile strength from 154.8 MPa to 164.4 MPa, with bending strength and notched impact strength increasing by 24% and 28%, respectively. Fibers longer than 7mm enhance warping resistance and mechanical stability under high temperature and humidity. Technical Data Reference (TDS) PA6-LGF can be reinforced with 20%-60% long glass fiber depending on product requirements. Compared to unreinforced PA6, PA6-LGF offers enhanced strength, heat resistance, impact resistance, dimensional stability, and reduced warping. The following TDS shows the data for PA6-LGF30. Applications of PA6-LGF PA6-LGF is widely used in automotive, electronic/electrical, and machinery/engineering parts. Automotive Parts Lightweight and miniaturization trends promote PA6-LGF use in engines, electrical systems, and body components. Electronic & Electrical Components Excellent flame retardancy and corrosion resistance make PA6-LGF suitable for switchgear, circuit breakers, contactors, connectors, and cable protection tubes. Mechanical & Engineering Parts Good impact resistance, wear resistance, and self-lubrication properties allow PA6-LGF to be used in machinery and engineering accessories.

PLA Plastic | Long Glass Fiber Reinforced PLA (PLA-LGF) What is PLA? Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable and eco-friendly polymer plastic, produced via pollution-free processes. PLA can naturally degrade and recycle in the environment, making it an ideal green polymer material and one of the most representative biodegradable plastics. PLA Structure and Heat Resistance The molecular structure of PLA affects its heat resistance, toughness, mechanical strength, degradability, and biocompatibility. PLA has a spiral molecular chain with low activity, resulting in slow crystallization after injection molding and relatively poor heat resistance. During hot processing, ester bonds may break partially, generating terminal carboxyl groups that accelerate thermal degradation. Long Glass Fiber (LGF) Reinforced PLA Reinforcing PLA with long glass fibers (PLA-LGF) improves mechanical strength, rigidity, and heat resistance. The fibers act as skeleton support, restricting polymer chain movement during heating and increasing thermal stability. Types of Fibers for PLA Reinforcement Fibers used for PLA enhancement include: Natural plant fibers: sisal, flax, linen, bamboo, coconut, wood fiber Animal fibers: silk Mineral fibers: basalt fiber Chemical fibers: glass fiber, carbon fiber Glass fiber and carbon fiber are widely used due to their high strength and modulus, while natural fibers are favored for biodegradability and renewable sources. Modified fibers blended with PLA have shown Vicat softening temperatures exceeding 140°C. Compared with Short Fiber (SGF) Long glass fiber reinforced PLA demonstrates superior mechanical properties compared with short fiber (SGF) reinforced PLA. It is more suitable for large structural parts, offering 1–3 times higher toughness and 0.5–1 times greater tensile strength and rigidity.
