Envalior Durethan AKV 15 FN000 PA66 Resin

Envalior Durethan AKV 15 FN000 is a 12% glass-reinforced, halogen-free flame-retardant PA66 for safety-critical automotive, electronics, and industrial applications.

Physical Properties

  • Density: Measured per ISO 1183, density is 1.275 g/cc (0.04606 lb/in³), with 12% glass fibers and halogen-free flame retardancy (UL94 V-0).
  • Moisture Absorption at Equilibrium: At 50% RH per ISO 62, moisture absorption is 1.8 %, balanced for electrical and structural applications.
  • Water Absorption at Saturation: Per ISO 62, water absorption is 5.5 %, lower than unfilled grades due to flame retardant additives.
  • Linear Mold Shrinkage (Flow): At 270°C/80°C per ISO 294-4, flow shrinkage is 0.0060 cm/cm (0.0060 in/in), suitable for medium-precision molding.
  • Linear Mold Shrinkage (Transverse): At 270°C/80°C per ISO 294-4, transverse shrinkage is 0.010 cm/cm (0.010 in/in), typical for low-to-medium fiber loadings.
  • Melt Flow: As per ISO 1133-1, the melt flow rate is 25 g/10 min at 270°C (518°F) under a load of 2.16 kg (4.76 lb).

Polymer Properties:

  • Base Material: Polyamide 66 (PA66)
  • Reinforcement: 12% Glass Fiber
  • Modification Features:
    • 12% glass fiber with halogen-free flame retardancy.
    • Low smoke emission for safety compliance.
    • Good flowability for complex molds.

Applications:

The combination of high mechanical strength, thermal resistance, and flame retardancy makes Durethan AKV 15 FN000 an excellent choice for a wide range of demanding applications.

  • Automotive: Its durability and chemical resistance make it suitable for various components, such as engine parts, transmission parts, and fuel system components.
