Radici Renycle S GF2501 HFO PA6 Resin
Radici Renycle S GF2501 HFO is a recycled polyamide 6 (PA6) reinforced with 25% glass fiber, specifically designed for applications requiring high flowability and thermal stability.
Physical Properties
Polymer Properties:
- Base Material: Polyamide 6 (PA6)
- Reinforcement: 25% Glass Fiber
- Key Features:
- Hydrolysis Resistance: Specifically designed to withstand exposure to hot water and moisture, preventing a significant loss of mechanical properties over time.
- High Stiffness and Strength: The 25% glass fiber reinforcement provides excellent tensile and flexural strength, suitable for load-bearing components.
- Good Dimensional Stability: The glass fibers minimize thermal expansion and contraction, ensuring consistent part dimensions.
- Chemical Resistance: Offers good resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including automotive fluids, oils, and greases.
- Sustainable Sourcing: Made from recycled PA6, this product contributes to the circular economy by reducing the use of virgin raw materials.
- Processability: Despite its specialized formulation and glass fiber content, it can be processed efficiently using standard injection molding equipment.
Applications:
The unique combination of high mechanical strength, thermal stability, and sustainability makes Radici Renycle S GF2501 HFO PA6 suitable for a variety of industries:
- Automotive:
- Perfect for under-the-hood components like engine covers, intake manifolds, and structural brackets where heat resistance and durability are critical.
- Its high strength-to-weight ratio also supports lightweighting initiatives, contributing to better fuel efficiency.
- Industrial Goods: A strong candidate for manufacturing gears, pulleys, and structural housings in industrial machinery that require robust and long-lasting materials.
- Power Tools: Excellent for handles, casings, and internal structural parts of power tools, offering the necessary strength to withstand operational stresses and vibrations.
- Electrical and Electronics: Can be used for connectors, insulators, and enclosures, where it offers a balance of mechanical strength and thermal performance.
Processing Conditions
- Drying: This material is supplied pre-dried. If moisture is absorbed, it must be dried at 80°C for 2-4 hours in a dehumidifying dryer. Ensure moisture content is <0.1%.
- Melt Temperature: 240-270°C. The exact temperature range depends on the specific injection molding machine and part design.
- Mold Temperature: 80-100°C for optimal crystallization and surface finish. A higher temperature is recommended to improve surface quality.
- Injection Speed: Medium to high. A fast injection rate helps prevent the melt from solidifying prematurely, especially in complex molds.
- Screw Speed: Medium. Use appropriate back pressure to ensure a uniform and well-mixed melt.
