The post Medium-viscosity injection moulding polyamide PA6 — Tarnamid® T-27 appeared first on MaterialWizard.

Tarnamid® T-27 GF30 is a polyamide 6 (PA6) produced by Grupa Azoty (Tarnów, Poland), reinforced with 30 % glass fibre and heat-stabilised for service at elevated temperatures. The grade belongs to the Tarnamid® T-27 GF range (10–50 % glass fibre) and is intended for injection moulding of structural parts with high stiffness and strength. The base polymer is the medium-viscosity PA6 T-27, so the material fills moulds well, including thin-walled cavities, and can be combined with other Tarnamid® grades in one production flow.

In the dry state Tarnamid® T-27 GF30 shows a tensile modulus of 9 500 MPa and a tensile strength of 175 MPa; after conditioning (23 °C, 50 % RH) the values change to 5 700 MPa and 110 MPa — typical behaviour of glass-filled PA6 that must be considered in part design. The heat deflection temperature HDT/A is 200 °C per ISO 75-2 (1.8 MPa) and the melting temperature is 221 °C. Flammability rating HB (IEC 60695-11-10); for V-0 requirements the range includes a separate grade, T-27 GF30 FRV0.

Material Wizard supplies Tarnamid® T-27 GF30 in Ukraine in natural and black (subject to availability), in the manufacturer’s standard 25 kg bags, with Grupa Azoty technical documentation. On request we provide technical support on processing, moulding parameters and substitution with comparable grades.

Key properties

• 30 % glass fibre — tensile modulus 9 500 MPa and tensile strength 175 MPa in the dry state (ISO 527)
• Heat-stabilised formulation — resistance to thermo-oxidative ageing in continuous service up to 120–130 °C, short-term higher (to be verified on the part)
• HDT/A 200 °C per ISO 75-2 (1.8 MPa), VST/B/50 215 °C — dimensional stability under load at elevated temperature
• Charpy notched impact strength 13 kJ/m² at 23 °C and 8 kJ/m² at –30 °C (dry) — predictable low-temperature behaviour
• MVR 45 cm³/10 min (275 °C / 5 kg) — good flow for thin-walled and complex parts
• Low shrinkage of 0.3 % in flow direction — accurate geometry for tight-tolerance parts; shrinkage anisotropy (0.9 % across flow) must be accounted for in mould design
• High chemical resistance to oils, fuels and many solvents, typical of PA6; the specific medium requires verification
• Good electrical insulation in the dry state; moisture absorption of 1.9 % (23 °C, 50 % RH) affects electrical properties and dimensions

Applications

• Automotive: brackets, sensor and connector housings, covers, cooling and air-intake system components
• Electrical engineering: circuit-breaker housings, terminal blocks, socket and contactor parts where stiffness and heat resistance matter
• Machine building: gears, pulleys, levers, guides, gearbox and pump housings
• Household appliances and power tools: housings, motor mounts, fan impellers
• Furniture hardware and construction fasteners: chair bases, hinges, high-load plugs and anchors

Processing recommendations

Injection moulding. Pre-drying is mandatory: 80 °C for 4–6 h in a dehumidifying dryer to a residual moisture of no more than 0.1–0.2 %. Typical barrel temperature profile 250–280 °C, mould temperature 80–100 °C (higher values give better surface quality and higher crystallinity). Use a screw and nozzle resistant to glass-fibre abrasion; regrind up to 20–25 % provided it is dried. These settings are general for the PA6 GF30 class; exact parameters for a specific part should be aligned with the manufacturer’s data sheet and confirmed by trial moulding.

Property levels are set relative to unfilled virgin injection-moulding PA6: tensile strength 68 MPa and tensile modulus 2640 MPa, roughly 20 % below virgin. Elongation at break and impact strength drop further — this is inherent to recycled feedstock, where reprocessing shortens the polymer chain and energy absorption suffers before stiffness does. The stated 12 % and 3.2 kJ/m² therefore reflect a realistic level rather than a conservative one.

What does not change: density, melting point 222 °C, HDT/B 187 °C, moisture uptake and processing windows. These are properties of the polymer and its matrix, and recycled feedstock does not shift them. In practice the thermal capability of the part matches virgin PA6; the limitation lies in mechanical loading.

A note on melt viscosity: recycled feedstock typically shows lower viscosity than virgin material, meaning a higher MVR. This affects machine setup — injection speed and packing should be re-optimised rather than carried over from a virgin grade. MVR is confirmed per batch.

On the comparison baseline. The values above are referenced to an unfilled nucleated injection-moulding PA6. Nucleation increases crystallinity, so such a PA6 shows a higher modulus and lower elongation than standard non-nucleated grades. For PA66 the baseline is a standard unfilled injection grade. This is why the modulus of Examid® PA6R G exceeds that of Examid® PA66R G — a property of the comparison baseline, not an advantage of PA6 over PA66 as a polymer.

Formulation is matched to the application. The figures are typical for the class; the exact specification and batch variation range are agreed per application and fixed in the technical specification.

Examid® PPA/PA66 GF50 Y is a heat-stabilized semi-aromatic blend (PPA + PA66) with 50% glass fiber. The line’s flagship overall: flexural strength of 380 MPa, tensile modulus of 18,000 MPa, HDT of 285 °C at 1.8 MPa, melting at 325 °C.

Flow shrinkage of 0.1% is precision-level. The electrical package is complete: CTI of 600 V, dielectric strength of 30 kV/mm, volume resistivity of 10¹¹ Ω·m — the material qualifies for power electronics and high-voltage connectors, including e-mobility.

Cold performance: Izod unnotched 80 kJ/m² at −30 °C. Part service range — from −30 to +200 °C with retained stiffness. Processing: melt 325–340 °C, mold 140 °C. The position covers Ultramid® Advanced / Grivory HT GF50-class applications at a substantial price advantage.

Examid® PPA/PA66 GF30 Y is a semi-aromatic polyamide blend (PPA + PA66) with 30% glass fiber. An engineering compromise: heat resistance close to neat PPA (HDT of 275 °C at 1.8 MPa, melting at 310 °C) with processing simpler and cheaper than full polyphthalamide.

Mechanics exceed standard PA66 GF30: tensile strength of 210 MPa (vs 180), flexural strength of 280 MPa, modulus of 10,000–10,500 MPa. Izod impact of 75 kJ/m² unnotched, 13 kJ/m² notched.

Positioning: parts where PA66 GF30 falls short on temperature but full PPA is cost-excessive — engine-zone housings, E&E components, structural elements serving up to 180–200 °C. Processing: melt 320–335 °C, mold 100–140 °C — milder than neat PPA (135–165 °C). Up to 25% regrind.
