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