Maximise Impact Resistance with Zytel PA66 Toughened Grades!

For applications requiring flexibility and durability, unfilled toughened grades are ideal for fasteners, cable ties, and similar components, offering:

• Exceptional impact resistance in dynamic and low-temperature conditions.
• Reduced part damage for extended service life.
• Enhanced elongation properties for applications demanding flexibility.
   

Popular toughened PA66 grades include:

• Zytel® MT409AHS – Medium Toughened PA66.
• Zytel® ST801 – Super Toughened PA66.
   

Super Toughened grades boast a Notched Charpy Impact > 40 kJ/m2, providing up to 8 times the impact resistance of standard PA66.

Enhance Strength with Zytel® PA66 Glass-Reinforced Grades!

For applications requiring high tensile strength and rigidity, Zytel® PA66 glass-reinforced grades offer:

• Exceptional stiffness with an elastic modulus of up to 11,000 MPa.
• Long-term thermal stability, enduring temperatures between 170°C and 180°C.
• Excellent resistance to automotive fluids such as engine oil, fuel, and brake fluid.
   

Popular glass-reinforced Zytel PA66 grades include:

• Zytel® 70G13HS1L – PA66 GF13, heat stabilised, lubricated.
• Zytel® 70G30HSLR – PA66 GF30, heat stabilised, lubricated, hydrolysis resistant.
• Zytel® 70G50HSLA – PA66 GF50, heat stabilised, lubricated, high flow.
• Zytel® 70G50HSLR – PA66 GF50, heat stabilised, lubricated, hydrolysis resistant.
   

Optimised fibre dispersion within PA66 ensures strong bonding between the nylon matrix and glass reinforcements, significantly enhancing mechanical properties across diverse environmental conditions.
