Applications:

The enhanced properties of Ultramid B3EG6 make it suitable for applications that require a robust, rigid, and reliable material to replace metal components or withstand high loads and temperatures.

1. Automotive Components
   
   • This is one of the primary applications for B3EG6.
   • Its high stiffness and strength make it ideal for structural parts, engine components, and under-the-hood applications where metal replacement is a key goal for weight reduction and cost savings.
2. Industrial and Mechanical Engineering
   • Ultramid B3EG6 is widely used in machinery and equipment where durable, rigid, and dimensionally stable parts are required.
   • Its high strength and stiffness make it a great choice for functional components that see high mechanical stress.
3. Electrical and Electronic Housings
   
   • While glass fiber reinforcement can affect electrical properties, B3EG6 is still used for various electrical housings where mechanical strength is the primary requirement.
   • It provides robust protection for internal components.
