Applications:

Given its enhanced thermal and mechanical properties, ULTRAMID A3HG5 PA66 is commonly used in critical, high-performance applications where standard glass-filled grades may not suffice.

• Automotive Industry: It’s widely used for under-the-hood components that are constantly exposed to high temperatures, engine coolants, and oils.
  • Examples include engine covers, air intake manifolds, radiator end tanks, and various housings and brackets.
  • The material’s ability to maintain its integrity under these harsh conditions is crucial for vehicle safety and reliability.
• Electrical & Electronics: For parts that require both mechanical strength and resistance to heat. This can include high-voltage connectors, sensor housings, and other components that operate in hot environments.
• Industrial Applications: Used for components in industrial machinery that operate at high temperatures, such as gear wheels, bearing cages, and precision parts in textile or mechanical engineering.
