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.
