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.
Propriety
High stiffness, high mechanical and wear resistance, good thermal loading capacity, excellent surface quality, high dimensional accuracy and detail resolution, good machinability and an excellent long-term constant behaviour are the characteristics that make this material efficient and functional for a multitude of uses.
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.
