Description
PA12 GF30 is a reinforced engineering plastic combining polyamide 12 (PA12) with 30% glass fibers (GF), offering high strength, rigidity, and heat resistance while maintaining lightweight properties.
Key Features
High Mechanical Performance: Enhanced tensile/flexural strength and modulus for load-bearing applications.
Thermal Stability: HDT up to 170°C (0.45 MPa), suitable for high-temperature environments.
Chemical Resistance: Withstands fuels, oils, and acids, ideal for automotive/industrial use.
Dimensional Accuracy: Low moisture absorption ensures stability in humid conditions.
Wear Resistance: Low friction coefficient extends lifespan in moving parts (e.g., gears, bearings).
Electrical Insulation: Reliable performance even in damp environments.
Processability: Easily molded via injection, extrusion, or SLS 3D printing for complex designs.
Applications
Automotive: Fuel systems, brake components, cooling systems, and electrical connectors.
Electronics: Housings, connectors, and sensors requiring durability and insulation.
Industrial: Gears, bearings, pumps, and valves for low-noise, high-wear resistance.
Aerospace: Lightweight structural parts and fuel pipelines.
Robotics: End-of-arm tools (EOAT) and grippers for balanced strength and weight.
Advantages Over Alternatives
Lighter than metals: Reduces energy consumption and design constraints.
More stable than pure PA12: Lower moisture absorption improves dimensional control.
Tougher than PA6 GF30: Better low-temperature performance and chemical resistance.
Processing Tips
Drying: Pre-dry at 85°C for 4–6 hours to prevent moisture-related defects.
Molding: Use temperatures of 240–280°C and mold temps of 80–100°C.
Finishing: Sandblasting or coating can smooth surface texture if needed.
Ideal for high-performance, cost-effective solutions where metal replacement or lightweight design is critical.
