| 30% long glass fiber reinforced high-flow PA66 with a PTFE/MoS2 package Tribocomp® PA66 LGF30 PTFE15% MoS0.5% is a 30% long glass fiber reinforced high-flow PA66 compound containing a PTFE/MoS2 package. It has been specifically designed for friction and wear applications. It can be easily be processed on most injection molding machines. Applications: Automotive Applications; Automotive Under the Hood; Engineering Parts; Gears; Industrial Applications; Power/Other Tools Features: Abrasion Resistant; Heat Stabilized; High Flow; High Friction; High Temperature Strength; Low Shrinkage The value listed as Molding Shrinkage ISO 294-4, was tested in accordance with S.O.P. methods. 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 hours at 100°C in dry-air dryer.
Processing temperatures -- Melt temperature should be kept below 300°C in order to prevent degradation. The exact setting depends from machine and mold design, but is usually within the range indicated in the Processing Information section of this TDS.
Mold temperature -- The mold temperature is a compromise between the optimum properties that can be obtained from high crystallization, and cycle time. This material can be processed at mold temperatures between 80°C and 140°C. Optimum surface quality requires a mold temperature above 120°C.
Regrind -- Regrind of highly filled thermoplastic materials, such as this material, 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. Information provided by Solvay Specialty Polymers. |
