Celanese Zytel 103HSL PA66 Resin

Physical Properties

• Density: Measured via ISO 1183 for injection-molded samples, the density is 1.14 g/cc (0.0412 lb/in³).
• Melt Density: At a temperature of 290 °C (554 °F), the melt density is 0.980 g/cc (0.0354 lb/in³).
• Water Absorption: At 2.00 mm thickness, water absorption is 8.5% (DAM; sim. to ISO 62), with 1.2% absorption after 24-hour immersion (3.00 mm thickness).
• Moisture Absorption: At 2.00 mm (0.0787 in) thickness: 2.60% (DAM; sim. to ISO 62).
• Viscosity Number: Determined with 96% sulfuric acid per ISO 307, 1157, 1628: 150 cm³/g (1.50 dl/g).
• Linear Mold Shrinkage: For injection-molded plaques, the linear mold shrinkage (flow/transverse) is 0.013 cm/cm (0.013 in/in) per ISO 294-4.

Polymer Properties:

• Base Material: Polyamide 66 (PA66)
• Modification Features:
  
  • Heat-stabilized to maintain performance at elevated temperatures.
  • Unreinforced structure for flexibility in heat-resistant applications.
  • Improved thermal aging resistance for prolonged use in warm environments.

Applications:

• Automotive: Under-the-hood parts like air intake manifolds, sensor housings, and radiator brackets, enduring heat from engine operations.
• Industrial: Machinery components exposed to moderate heat, such as pump casings and motor mounts in industrial equipment.
• Electronics: Oven parts, motor brackets, and heat-resistant connectors in kitchen appliances or high-temperature electronic setups.
