Tribocomp® PA66 LGF30 N9 PTFE15% MoS0.5% is a 30% long glass fiber reinforced high-flow PA66 with a pellet length of 9mm and a PTFE/MoS2 package. It can easily be processed on most injection molding machines. Key Attributes: Abrasion Resistant; Heat Stabilized; High Flow; High Friction; High Temperature Strength; Low Shrinkage Applications: Automotive Applications; Automotive Under the Hood; Engineering Parts; Gears; Industrial Applications; Power/Other Tools The value listed as Molding Shrinkage ISO 294-4, was tested in accordance with S.O.P. methods. Injection Notes: Pre-drying -- Since polyamides are hygroscopic materials as well as sensitive to moisture during processing, this product should always be pre-dried. At a humidity content above 0.1%, the material will begin to degrade. Recommended drying time is 4 hours at 100°C in dry-air dryer. Processing temperatures -- Melt temperature should be kept below 300°C in order to prevent degradation. The exact setting depends from machine and mold design, but is usually within the following range: Area | Recommendation Zone 1 (feed) 270-300°C | 280°C Zone 2 (middle) 270-300°C | 290°C Zone 3 (front) 285-300°C | 295°C Zone 4 (Nozzle) 285-310°C | 300°C Mold temperature -- The mold temperature is a compromise between the optimum properties that can be obtained from high crystallization, and cycle time. This material can be processed at mold temperatures between 80°C and 160°C. Optimum surface quality requires a mold temperature above 120°C. Regrind -- Regrind of highly filled thermoplastic materials, such as this material, should only be recycled with special care. The regrind content must never exceed 15%, and only regrind of optimum quality should be used. In any case, part properties should be checked. Data for dry samples unless noted.
