Viva Nylons Limited PA6 Glass Filled
- Chemical Family
- Polyamides
Viva Nylons Limited PA6 Glass Filled material features hollow glass ovules, designed to float and evenly distribute through the polymerizing polymer. The glass additive allows the material to operate at higher maximum service temperatures whilst the solid wax counteracts the deteriorating surface slip characteristics. For applications requiring higher compressive strength, our Glass Filled material incorporates hollow glass ovules for outstanding abrasion and temperature resistant material at high loads. PA6 GF is available in Plate & Rod profiles only.
