    Heat resistance: HDT (1.8MPa) ≈ 200°C, stable in long-term 120–150°C environmentslkkANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer
    Rigidity & strength: Higher than unreinforced PA66, with good impact resistancelkkANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer
    Dimensional stability: Low molding shrinkage (≈0.5–0.8%), ensuring assembly precisionlkkANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer
    Surface quality: Less fiber exposure than high-GF grades, suitable for visible exterior/interior partslkkANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer
    Chemical resistance: Resistant to oil, coolant, salt spray, and automotive fluidslkkANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer
    Processability: Good flowability, easy to mold complex thin-walled structureslkkANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer

III. Key Selection ConsiderationslkkANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer
lkkANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer
    Balance of rigidity and toughness: Better impact resistance than PA66+GF30, suitable for parts requiring both strength and toughnesslkkANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer
    Surface finish: Preferred for visible components due to minimal fiber exposurelkkANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer
    Cost efficiency: Lower material cost than high-GF grades while meeting performance requirementslkkANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer
    Moisture absorption: PA66 is hygroscopic; pre-drying is required before molding to avoid defects
