Envalior Akulon M-1016 PA66 Resin

Physical Properties

• Density: Measured via injection-molded samples per ISO 1183, the density is 1.38 g/cc (0.0499 lb/in³), indicating a compact structure suitable for load-bearing applications.
• Water Absorption: Simulating ISO 62, water absorption reaches 8.0 %, suggesting potential dimensional changes in humid environments.
• Moisture Absorption: Under humidity conditions (sim. ISO 62), moisture absorption is 2.10 %, reflecting the material’s sensitivity to ambient moisture.
• Linear Mold Shrinkage (Flow): As per ISO 294-4, flow-direction shrinkage is 0.0040 cm/cm (0.0040 in/in), influenced by glass fiber orientation during molding.
• Linear Mold Shrinkage (Transverse): Per ISO 294-4, transverse shrinkage is 0.0090 cm/cm (0.0090 in/in), higher than the flow direction due to reduced fiber alignment.
