For projects that require local availability, formulation flexibility or supply continuity, we offer our own grades Examid® PA6 GF10 and Examid® PA6 GF30 — glass-filled heat-stabilised polyamide 6 grades with neighbouring filler levels made in Ukraine and comparable in key properties. Material Wizard engineers will help select the material and qualify the substitution on your part.

The post Heat-stabilised polyamide PA6 with 15 % glass fibre — Tarnamid® T-27 GF15 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.

Examid® PA66 GF50 Y is a heat-stabilized polyamide 66 with 50% glass fiber. The top rung of the PA66 GF line: tensile strength of 240 MPa, flexural modulus of 16,800 MPa, HDT of 250 °C at 1.80 MPa. A metal-replacement candidate after part-level validation.

Cold performance is proven at −30 °C: Charpy unnotched 90 kJ/m², notched 13 kJ/m² — the material does not embrittle in the cold, important for outdoor and automotive applications. Heat stabilization (Y) provides endurance in long-term hot-zone service.

Direct analog — Ultramid® A3WG10: a comparable profile with better economics. Processing: melt 285–300 °C, mold 80–120 °C, pressure 90–130 MPa.

Examid® PA66 GF45 Y is a polyamide 66 with 45% glass fiber: the sweet spot between GF30 and GF50. Tensile strength of 230 MPa, flexural modulus of 13,200 MPa, while Izod notched impact of 16 kJ/m² is noticeably higher than typical GF50 grades (10–13 kJ/m²).

A separate trump card is the predictable low shrinkage of 0.18% in flow and good flow (MFR of 28 g/10 min at 275 °C, 5 kg): stable filling and tight tolerances on medium and large parts. Water absorption of 0.31% is moderate for PA66 GF.

HDT of 250 °C at 1.80 MPa and a 260 °C melting point mean confident 120–150 °C service. The grade covers the range between Ultramid® A3WG7 and A3WG10 with an impact-strength advantage. Processing: melt 285–300 °C, mold 80–100 °C.

Examid® PA66 GF30 BKT is a black polyamide 66 reinforced with 30% glass fiber, ready-to-mold without coloring. A workhorse for housings and structural parts: tensile strength of 150 MPa (conditioned), flexural modulus of 8000 MPa, HDT of 255 °C at 0.45 MPa.

Unlike the natural PA66 GF30 Y, this grade comes in factory black with batch-to-batch shade consistency — eliminating masterbatch dosing and color-variation risk. MFR of 30 g/10 min (275 °C, 5 kg) is standard class flow.

The PA66 matrix retains stiffness at 120–150 °C where glass-filled PA6 gives up. Direct analog — Ultramid® A3WG6 BK: comparable mechanics with better volume-procurement economics. Processing: melt 280–295 °C, mold 100–140 °C, up to 20–25% regrind.

Examid® PA610 GF50 is a long-chain polyamide 610 reinforced with 50% glass fiber. A combination standard PA6/PA66 GF grades cannot offer: high stiffness (flexural modulus of 15,000 MPa, flexural strength of 305 MPa) with water absorption of only 1.6% — versus 4–6% for PA6 GF50.

The practical consequence: parts are engineered to dry-as-molded data without humidity corrections — geometry and mechanics stay stable year-round, including water and humid-air contact. Flow shrinkage of 0.2%. HDT of 200 °C at 1.80 MPa.

The grade’s niche is structural parts in hydraulics, plumbing, outdoor assemblies and E&E where PA6/PA66 GF50 drift with moisture. Processing: melt 250–270 °C, mold 80–110 °C. Analogs — glass-filled Ultramid® S Balance.

Examid® PA6 GF60 Y is an ultra-filled polyamide 6 with 60% glass fiber for maximum-stiffness parts: tensile modulus of 21,000 MPa, flexural modulus of 19,700 MPa, flexural strength of 406 MPa. This is metal-replacement territory — molded brackets and housings instead of aluminum castings and stampings.

The key feature is a high-flow formulation: MVR of 35 cm³/10 min (275 °C, 5 kg) fills demanding geometries despite 60% loading. Shrinkage is minimal and nearly isotropic: 0.2–0.25% flow / 0.3–0.35% transverse — tight tolerances without warpage.

Charpy impact of 110 kJ/m² unnotched and 22 kJ/m² notched — the best figures in the GF line. HDT of 215 °C at 1.80 MPa. Processing: melt 260–280 °C, mold 80–120 °C.
