Glass fiber reinforced polyphthalamide Examid® PPA GF33

Description

Examid® PPA GF33 is an engineering polyphthalamide (PPA) developed specifically for operation under sustained thermal and mechanical loads. Thanks to 33 % glass fiber reinforcement and a special lubricant additive, the material offers high stiffness, excellent flow in molding and stable geometry even under thermal cycling and exposure to moisture.

The material is based on PA6T/6I polyamide and is optimized for injection molding into water-heated molds, which allows a lower mold temperature, a shorter molding cycle and high fit accuracy.

Owing to its low water absorption, high creep resistance and heat resistance up to 300 °C, Examid® PPA GF33 performs reliably in contact with hot water, aggressive media and oils.

Advantages

• High stiffness and strength under thermal loads
• Low shrinkage and precise part geometry
• Flow optimized for high-speed molding, low mold temperature
• Reliable performance under thermal cycling and in humid environments
• High thermal stability (HDT/A up to 300 °C)
• High chemical inertness to lubricants, water and solvents
• Stable electrical insulating properties
• Suitable for metal replacement in complex assemblies

Applications

• Connector and sensor housings where precision, tightness and resistance to heat and moisture are essential
• Automotive engine compartment assemblies — actuator housings, mounting brackets, components exposed to localized overheating
• Industrial parts operating under alternating thermal and mechanical loads: guides, bushings, levers
• Household and consumer appliances — heating elements, load-bearing frames, heat-resistant fasteners
• Technical assemblies with hot media — pump blocks, distributors, contact with oil or hot water
• Metal replacement in medium-complexity designs where minimal shrinkage and thermal expansion are critical
