Project Description
Generality
The glass-filled polyamide is part of a class of polymers commonly called Nylon. Parts produced in this material are characterized by their excellent mechanical properties, excellent surface quality and a high level of precision, accuracy and dimensional details.
Finish
Parts made of Glass-filled polyamide can be finished with different superficial finishes that improve the aesthetics and the mechanical resistance.
Application
The typical applications of the glass-filled polyamide are, in the car industry, the parts inside the engine compartment. This material is also suitable for the production of deep-drawing stamps or any other applications that requires a low abrasive wear and a high heat distortion temperature.
