Xencor™ PA66 LGF-1030 HI is a high impact, 30 % long glass fiber reinforced, easy-flowing PA66 with a pellet length of 7 mm which can be processed on most injection molding machines.

This material achieves extremely high mechanical and thermal properties, in combination with ease of processing and fast cycle times. It exhibits high strength, stiffness and impact strength at high temperatures; excellent creep and fatigue resistance; isotropic mechanical properties and reduced isotropic shrinkage; high shear strength and high burst pressure; and an excellent surface finish.

Features: Creep Resistant; Electrically Insulating; Fatigue Resistant; High Impact Resistance; High Rigidity; High Stiffness; High Tensile Strength; Hot Water Moldability; Low CLTE; Low Warpage

Injection notes: Pre-Drying
Since polyamides are hygroscopic materials as well as sensitive to moisture during processing, this product should always be pre-dried. At a humidity content above 0.1%, the material will begin to degrade. Recommended drying time is 4 to 8 hours at 80-90°C in dry-air dryer.
Processing temperatures
Melt temperature should be kept below 310°C in order to prevent degradation. The exact setting depends from machine and mold design, but is usually within the following range:
Area | Recommendation:
Zone 1 (feed) 290-300°C | 295-300°C
Zone 2 290-300°C | 300°C
Zone 3 290-300°C | 300°C
Zone 4 (Nozzle) 295-305°C | 300°C
Mold temperature
The mold temperature is a compromise between the optimum properties that can be obtained from high crystallization, and cycle time. Xencor™ PA66 LGF-1030 HI can be processed at mold temperatures between 80°C and 110°C. Optimum surface quality requires a mold temperature above 100°C.
Regrind
Regrind of highly filled thermoplastic materials, such as Xencor™ PA66 LGF-1030 HI, should only be recycled with special care. The regrind content must never exceed 15% and only regrind of optimum quality should be used. In any case, part properties should be checked.
