Compared with virgin PA66, the 30% glass fiber-reinforced and heat-stabilized nylon grade Nylatron™ GF30/Ertalon™ 66 GF30 PA66 offers increased strength, stiffness, creep resistance and dimensional stability. The material exhibits good mechanical damping abilities and sliding performance, while also retaining excellent wear resistance at higher maximum service temperatures. Additionally, this reinforced PA66 is electrically insulative, resistant to high-energy radiation and easy to machine.
