PA66 FR

Polyamide 66 (nylon 66)

flame retardant (UL94 V-0 target)

PA66 offers a higher melting point, stiffness and creep resistance than PA6 and is preferred for parts running in hot environments. It absorbs slightly less moisture but has a narrower processing window. Glass-fibre PA66 is the standard material for engine-bay and electrical connector parts.

Overview

PA66 FR is the flame retardant (UL94 V-0 target) grade of the PA66 family in the compounds group. It is used in applications such as radiator tanks, intake manifolds, engine covers, connectors and circuit-breaker parts, sliders, wheels and conveying elements. 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.
