PA6-GF
PA6-GF is a high-performance engineering plastic based on polyamide 6 (nylon 6) and reinforced with glass fiber (GF). Compared with unreinforced PA6, it shows significant improvements in mechanical strength, heat resistance and dimensional stability. It is suitable for industrial, automotive and household appliance fields that require high strength, heat resistance and structural stability
