Materials like 4TECH® PA6.6+PP, 20% glass fibre & glass bubble reinforced which can provide an 18% weight reduction when compared to a standard PA6.6 GF30 and comparable mechanical properties. Also, a new generation of 4MID® materials have been developed to replace polyamide applications that don’t require as high a heat performance. One example of these grades has a 125 MPa tensile strength and 10000 MPa tensile modulus after conditioning and can replace standard PA66 GF50 applications without any cost penalty but with a 13% weight reduction. Furthermore, new 4TECH® grades offer new possibilities in metal replacement, showing excellent surface finish even with 60% glass fibre reinforcement. this combination can remove any need for further painting or finishing and shows much better performance than aluminium in fatigue tests.
In the development of all of these grades 4PLAS has considered the future recycling requirements by ensuring that all our materials do not compromise future recyclability of components, indeed in many cases the material could be recycled back into the original application.
