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.

Engineering Trade-offs

Reinforcement changes more than stiffness

Use GF content to narrow the PA6 range, then evaluate the complete molded system. Higher listed reinforcement does not automatically produce the better part.

Increasing glass-fiber content can support

Across an appropriate formulation and test basis, glass-fiber reinforcement is commonly screened when these requirements control the shortlist.

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

The same shortlist must also review

More fiber does not settle the material decision. The molded result remains sensitive to geometry, process, moisture state and the complete load path.

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

Application Context

Connect the grade to the part architecture

Match the part's load, temperature and environment to a candidate grade before starting molding trials.

Before Final Selection

Validate moisture, molding and the actual part

PA6 absorbs moisture and its molded performance depends on conditioning, geometry and process history. Treat catalog values as screening inputs and close the decision on the intended tool and part.

01
Define the moisture state
Record whether the comparison uses as-molded, dry or conditioned specimens. Do not mix those states in one conclusion.
02
Control drying and material handling
Use grade-specific processing guidance and prevent uncontrolled moisture pickup before molding trials.
03
Review orientation and weld lines
Relate the gate, flow path and weld-line position to the real load direction and critical dimensions.
04
Measure shrinkage and warpage on the part
Catalog shrinkage data are not complete across this range. Measure the intended geometry instead of filling the gap with assumed values.
05
Run the intended tool and process window
Confirm filling, surface, dimensions, repeatability and local defects under production-relevant molding conditions.
06
Validate the assembled function
Close load, environment, cycling, assembly and customer evidence requirements before production approval.
