BASF ULTRAMID B3GK24 HOT Sale PA6 Resin

BASF ULTRAMID B3GK24 is a 30% combined glass – fiber and glass bead – reinforced polyamide 6 (PA6) polymer produced by BASF, designed for applications requiring high dimensional stability.

Physical Properties

  • Density: Measured according to ISO 1183, the density is 1.34 g/cc (0.0484 lb/in³), due to glass – fiber and glass bead combination.
  • Water Absorption: As per ISO 62, the water absorption is 6.3 – 6.9 %, which can impact performance in various environments.
  • Moisture Absorption at Equilibrium: Under 23°C/50% R.H. and ISO 62, the moisture absorption at equilibrium is 1.9 – 2.3 %, significant for long – term behavior.
  • Viscosity Number: Measured by ISO 307, the viscosity number is 140 cm³/g (1.40 dl/g), affecting processing characteristics.
  • Linear Mold Shrinkage: The linear mold shrinkage is 0.0050 cm/cm, important for parts with high – dimensional stability requirements.
  • Melt Flow: According to ISO 1133, at 5.00 kg load and 275 °C, the melt flow is 93.8 g/10 min, showing processing properties.

Polymer Properties:

  1. Base Material: Polyamide 6 (PA6)
  2. Reinforcement: 30% combined glass – fiber and glass bead
  3. Modification Features:
    • High mechanical strength
    • Excellent dimensional stability

    • Favorable injection – moldability

Applications:

The unique property profile of Ultramid B3GK24 makes it ideal for applications that demand high stiffness and strength with minimal warpage.

  1. Automotive Components
    • This grade is a mainstay in the automotive industry for large, flat, or complex parts where dimensional stability is critical.
    • The low and isotropic shrinkage from the glass bead and glass fiber blend ensures that components like housings and trim panels fit perfectly and don’t deform under stress or temperature changes.
  2. Industrial and Electrical Housings
    • The combination of strength and dimensional stability makes B3GK24 an excellent material for precision-engineered components, especially those with intricate designs that must fit together perfectly.
    • This includes housings for sensitive electronics and power tools where both structural integrity and a precise fit are necessary.
  3. Functional Parts and Engineering Components
    • Ultramid B3GK24 is also used for a variety of general industrial applications that require high-strength, dimensionally stable parts.
    • Its good flow properties allow it to be injection molded into complex shapes with high precision.
