Material Data Sheet
Material: Tecamid® 6/6 GF30
NylonTecamid® 6/6 GF30 is a 30% glass-fiber reinforced nylon 6/6 material whose important properties include high tensile and flexural strength, stiffness, excellent heat deflection temperature, and superior abrasion and rear resistance. While all Tecamid™ materials have high mechanical strength and superior resistance to wear and organic chemicals, Tecamid® 6/6 GF30 has more than double the strength and stiffness of unreinforced nylons and a heat deflection temperature which approaches its melting point.
