Comparison basis: GF content ISO 1172; tensile stress ISO 527; flexural properties ISO 178; notched Charpy impact at 23 °C ISO 179/1eA; HDT at 1.8 MPa ISO 75; water absorption at 23 °C and 50% RH ISO 62. These are typical web reference values. The catalog does not specify the dry or conditioned state of the mechanical data; confirm it in the grade-specific TDS before final selection.

Material properties

Material properties and molding

The properties of glass-fiber-reinforced PA6 depend on the formulation and molding conditions.

Strength and dimensional stability

Glass-fiber-reinforced PA6 is used for parts that need stiffness and strength under load. Performance varies with the grade and molding conditions.

  • Higher stiffness and load response
  • Higher tensile and flexural strength
  • Higher heat-deflection response
  • Improved creep resistance
  • Dimensional control under load

Moisture and molded geometry

Moisture changes PA6's mechanical properties and dimensions. Fiber direction and weld lines also affect performance in molded parts.

  • Impact trade-offs and failure mode
  • Fiber orientation and anisotropy
  • Directional shrinkage and warpage
  • Surface finish and exposed fibers
  • Moisture conditioning and retained dimensions
  • Weld lines, gates and local stress

Applications

Parts and applications

Housings, brackets and functional components place different demands on strength, temperature resistance and dimensional stability.

Processing

Molding and part testing

PA6 absorbs moisture. Drying, conditioning and molding conditions influence the properties and dimensions of the finished part.

  1. 01

    Moisture state

    Dry, as-molded and conditioned specimens can have different properties. Comparable data need the same moisture state.

  2. 02

    Drying and handling

    Drying conditions depend on the grade. Storage and handling affect moisture pickup before molding.

  3. 03

    Fiber orientation

    Gate position, flow direction and weld lines influence strength along the load path.

  4. 04

    Shrinkage and warpage

    Shrinkage data are incomplete for this range. Part measurements establish directional shrinkage and warpage for the intended geometry.

  5. 05

    Molding conditions

    Tool design and the process window affect filling, surface finish, dimensions and repeatability.

  6. 06

    Part testing

    Tests on the assembled part assess load response, environmental exposure, cycling and fit under the intended service conditions.
