General Info

TECAMID® 6/6 GF30 is a 30% glass-fiber reinforced nylon 6/6 material whose important properties include high tensile and flexural strength, stiffness, excellent heat deflection temperature, and superior abrasion and wear resistance. While all TECAMID® materials have high mechanical strength and superior resistance to wear and organic chemicals, TECAMID® 6/6 GF30 has more than double the strength and stiffness of unreinforced nylons and a heat deflection temperature which approaches its melting point.

Key Properties

  • Higher Stiffness vs. Unfilled Type 6/6 Nylon
  • Resistant to Many Oils, Greases and Fuels
  • Very High Strength
  • Enhanced Dimensional Stability (Lower CLTE vs. Unfilled Type 6/6 Nylon)
  • Good Heat Deflection Temperature

Limitations

  • High Moisture Absorption
  • Poor Chemical Resistance to Strong Acids and Bases

Applications

  • Electrical Components
  • Housings
  • Metal Replacement
  • Railway Tie Insulators
  • Structural Components

Resin Trade Names

Manufacturer Trade Names

  • TECAMID® GF30

Boedeker Plastics, Inc. stocks & supplies plastic sheet, rod, tube, film and custom profiles and machine parts from these shapes that are produced from plastic resin. In many cases the manufacturer of the shape has their own product trade name. If your specification calls for a specific resin grade or manufacturer trade name, we can supply a shape made from that resin to meet your specification or suggest an equal. If you require a specific resin or brand it must be specified at the time of order.
