Physical Properties

• Bulk Density: The bulk density of the material ranges from 0.500 to 0.800 g/cc (0.0181 to 0.0289 lb/in³), indicating the mass per unit volume in a loosely packed state.
• Density: As determined by ISO 1183, the density of the material is 1.56 g/cc (0.0564 lb/in³), representing the mass per unit volume of the solid material.
• Moisture Absorption at Equilibrium: At 23°C and 50% relative humidity (RH) following ISO 62, the material has a moisture absorption of 1.0 – 1.4%, showing its capacity to hold moisture in an equilibrium state.
• Water Absorption at Saturation: According to ISO 62, the material absorbs 3.7 – 4.3% water at saturation, which reflects its maximum water uptake ability.
• Viscosity Measurement: As per ISO 307, the viscosity measurement value of the material is 130, related to the material’s resistance to flow in a specific state.
• Linear Mold Shrinkage: With a value of 0.0045 cm/cm (0.0045 in/in) under restricted conditions, this property is important for predicting dimensional changes during molding.
• Linear Mold Shrinkage, Flow: By ISO 2577, it is 0.0033 cm/cm (0.0033 in/in), and when the mold temperature (TM) is 300°C and the water temperature (TW) is 80°C, it is 0.0045 cm/cm (0.0045 in/in), indicating shrinkage along the flow direction during molding.
• Linear Mold Shrinkage, Transverse: According to ISO 2577, the transverse linear mold shrinkage is 0.0082 cm/cm (0.0082 in/in), showing the dimensional change perpendicular to the flow direction.
• Melt Flow: Per ISO 1133, at 275 °C (527 °F) under a load of 5.00 kg (11.0 lb), the melt flow rate is 31.2 g/10 min, reflecting the fluidity of the molten material during processing.

Polymer Properties:

1. Base Material: Polyamide 66 (PA66)
2. Reinforcement: 50% Short Glass Fiber
3. Key Properties and Benefits:
   
   • Exceptional Rigidity and Strength: The 50% glass fiber reinforcement provides an extremely high modulus of elasticity and tensile strength. 
   • Superior Heat Resistance: PA66 has a high melting point, and the high glass fiber content further elevates its heat deflection temperature. 
   • Excellent Dimensional Stability: The high glass fiber content minimizes thermal expansion and shrinkage, leading to parts with outstanding dimensional stability, which is critical for precision components.
   • Good Chemical Resistance: Like other PA66 grades, it offers good resistance to many chemicals, including oils, greases, and solvents.
