PA6 GF15 NAT

Polyamide 6 (nylon 6)

15% glass-fibre reinforced, natural colour

PA6 is the most widely used engineering plastic, combining toughness, wear resistance and easy processing. It absorbs moisture, which increases flexibility and impact strength, so conditioning is planned where dimensional stability matters. Glass-fibre grades are the first candidates for structural parts replacing metal.

Overview

PA6 GF15 NAT is the 15% glass-fibre reinforced, natural colour grade of the PA6 family in the compounds group. It is used in applications such as gears, bushings and machine elements, automotive under-bonnet parts and cable ties, power-tool housings. The grade with the right flow for injection, extrusion or another process is specified in the quotation together with your quantity and colour; TDS and SDS are sent with the quotation.
