Material TypePA66 + 30% glass fiber compound

ProcessingInjection molding

Main ApplicationsAutomotive, electrical connectors, industrial parts

PA66 GF30 glass fiber reinforced compound pellets for injection molding — PA66 GF30 compound pellets for injection molding applications.

PA66 GF30 injection molded parts for automotive and electrical connector applications — Typical use areas include automotive structural parts, connectors and industrial components.

Product Description

PA66 GF30 is used where unfilled PA66 cannot provide sufficient stiffness, load-bearing performance or dimensional stability. With 30% glass fiber reinforcement, the compound improves tensile strength, flexural modulus, heat deflection temperature and creep resistance for functional molded parts.

Chemdo focuses on practical replacement selection. Instead of matching only the old grade name, we check the current TDS, application, molding condition, required certification and commercial target before recommending a suitable China-origin PA66 GF30 grade.

Information Needed for Grade Selection

Information Needed	Why It Matters
Current grade name or TDS	Defines the benchmark for replacement
Application and part photos	Confirms mechanical, thermal and appearance requirements
Processing method and molding condition	Determines flowability and molding stability
Required certifications	Confirms UL, RoHS, REACH, automotive or other compliance needs
Working temperature	Determines whether heat stabilization is required
Contact with water, oil or glycol	Determines whether hydrolysis resistance or chemical resistance should be considered
Color requirement	Confirms natural, black or customized color
Annual consumption and target price	Helps match the commercial and technical grade level

Processing Guidelines

PA66 GF30 should be dried properly before injection molding because PA66 is moisture-sensitive. Inadequate drying may cause silver streaks, bubbles, reduced mechanical strength and unstable surface appearance.

Processing Item	General Guideline
Drying temperature	80–100°C
Drying time	4–6 hours
Moisture control	Recommended before molding
Processing method	Injection molding
Mold design	Proper venting and gate design are important for glass fiber reinforced PA66
Screw and barrel	Wear-resistant equipment is recommended for long-term GF compound processing

FAQ

What is PA66 GF30 used for?

PA66 GF30 is used for injection molded parts that require high stiffness, strength, heat resistance and dimensional stability. Typical applications include automotive brackets, electrical connectors, industrial components, pump parts, fan blades and power tool parts.

Can PA66 GF30 replace BASF Ultramid, DuPont Zytel or Ascend Vydyne?

Yes. China-origin PA66 GF30 compounds can be evaluated as alternatives to international PA66 GF30 grades. Selection should be based on actual performance requirements, processing behavior, certification needs and cost target.

What is the difference between PA66 GF30 and PA6 GF30?

PA66 GF30 generally provides higher heat resistance and better dimensional stability than PA6 GF30. PA6 GF30 may offer better cost efficiency and easier processing in some applications. Final selection depends on working temperature, mechanical requirement, moisture exposure and part design.

Do you supply heat stabilized or flame retardant PA66 GF30?

Yes. Heat stabilized PA66 GF30 is available for long-term thermal aging requirements. Flame retardant PA66 GF30 can also be supplied for electrical and electronic applications, subject to UL94 rating, color, thickness and certification requirements.
