LFT POLYAMIDE 6 Nylon Reinforced long glass fiber orginal color for automotive parts

PA6-LGF

PA6 modified plastics use pure PA6 as the matrix and enhance internal and external properties through blending, filling, strengthening, copolymerization, crosslinking, and other methods. They account for approximately 15% of PA6 applications. Long glass fiber content ranges from 20%–60%, adjusted according to product requirements, providing high strength, superior heat resistance, good impact resistance, and lightweight alternatives to certain metals. Common applications include power tool shells, garden tools, gears, sports equipment, and automotive parts.

Other Specifications of PA6-LGF

Flame Retardant PA6: PA6 is naturally flammable, but adding flame retardants changes its combustion properties. Mechanical mixing incorporates nitrogen, phosphorus, bromine-based, or mineral flame retardants. These materials are suitable for switches, low-voltage electrical housings, wiring terminals, and circuit breakers.

Toughened PA6: Incorporating toughening agents improves low-temperature resistance, flexibility, fluidity, reduces shrinkage and water absorption, enhances impact and aging resistance. Ideal for baby carriage parts, rolling belts, line clips, and connectors.

Applications

Beyond daily applications, PA6 modified plastics are increasingly used in high-end fields such as rail transit, medical devices, military, and aerospace.

TDS for Reference

Nylon reinforced materials are made from PA6/PA66 resins with 20–60% glass fiber to increase strength. 30% fiber content is most common, but 40–50% can be used based on product requirements.

Advantages of Long Glass Fiber Compounds

1. High-temperature resistance improves significantly after glass fiber reinforcement, especially for nylon plastics.
2. Shrinkage decreases and rigidity increases due to limited polymer chain movement.
3. Stress cracking is reduced and impact resistance improves.
4. Mechanical properties such as tensile, compression, and bending strength are enhanced.
5. Flame retardancy improves; most reinforced materials become self-extinguishing.
