Xiamen LFT-G Polyamide 6 Long Glass Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic for automotive parts

Materials information

Nylon 6(PA6), also known as polyamide 6, its mechanical strength and crystallization is good, and has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, wear resistance, etc., in the automobile industry, rail transit, film packaging, electronic appliances and textile and other major fields to achieve a wide range of applications. Although its comprehensive performance is excellent, it also has a series of shortcomings, such as PA6 does not have strong acid and alkali resistance, low impact strength at low temperature and dry state, and its hydrophilic base will cause a high water absorption rate, and the elastic modulus, creep resistance, impact strength and so on will be greatly reduced after water absorption, thus affecting the dimensional stability of products and the electrical properties of products. Therefore, it is necessary to study the modification of PA6.

What are Long Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastics?

In engineering applications, the stiffness-to-weight ratio, or specific modulus, is one of the most important material properties a designer considers.  This is especially true for structural or load-bearing applications.  By incorporating reinforcement fibers that are longer than conventionally used, gains of more than double the flexural modulus and up to quadruple the impact strength may be achieved.  Such products, commonly referred to as long fiber reinforced thermoplastics (LFRT), may be produced from many types of semicrystalline or amorphous thermoplastics reinforced with a variety of different fibers – glass, stainless steel, carbon or aramid.

PA-LGF has excellent performance and has great application potential in automotive, machinery, electrical appliances, military and other fields. With the continuous progress of science and technology, the requirements for PA6 materials in various application fields are getting higher and higher. Therefore, further study on LGF filling modification of PA6 to make it have more excellent mechanical properties has become a focus of extensive attention of researchers in recent years.

Material attributes

The raw material of PA has a broad source, which is the basis of its large-scale industrial production. Due to the regular arrangement of molecular structure, many hydrogen bonds can be formed between macromolecules of PA, so it has high crystallinity and outstanding characteristics in mechanical, chemical and thermal properties, including:

(1) high tensile strength and bending strength;
(2) good impact resistance;
(3) with high heat resistance;
(4) It has the characteristics of wear-resisting and self-lubrication, which is incomparable to metal materials;
(5) Good swelling resistance and corrosion resistance to chemical solvents and drugs;
(6) Good flow processing, can be used for injection molding, extrusion, blow molding and other methods of product processing;
(7) Excellent barrier performance;
(8) has a very high chemical activity, which the polar groups can react with the monomer and polymer containing polar groups, the formation of new polymer compounds.
