PA66 reinforced plastics deliver high mechanical strength, excellent wear resistance, and superior thermal performance, making them the material of choice for demanding applications in automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics components.
PA66:Nylon fibres are used in textiles, fishing line and carpets. Nylon films is used for food packaging, offering toughness and low gas permeability, and coupled with its temperature resistance, for boil-in-the-bag food packaging.
Moulding and extrusion compounds find many applications as replacements for metal parts, for instance in car engine components.Intake manifolds in nylon are tough, corrosion resistant, lighter and cheaper than aluminium (once tooling costs are covered) and offer better air flow due to a smooth internal bore instead of a rough cast one. Its self-lubricating properties make it useful for gears and bearings.Electrical insulation, corrosion resistance and toughness make nylon a good choice for high load parts in electrical applications as insulators, switch housings and the ubiquitous cable ties. Another major application is for power tool housings.
Applications of PA66 reinforced plastics:
Automotive: Engine covers, radiator tanks, airbag components, and transmission parts.
Electrical & Electronics: Connectors, circuit breakers, coil bobbins, and high-temperature insulators.
Industrial Machinery: Gears, bushings, conveyor belts, and hydraulic system components.
Consumer Goods: Power tool housings, sports equipment, and high-stress appliance parts.
Custom Engineering: Tailored formulations for enhanced UV resistance, conductivity, or color stability.
