PA 6.6 / X GF50

PA – Polyamide

PA 6.6 / X GF50

PA 6.6/X GF50 is a PA 6.6 material with added fibreglass. The polyamide material, which has a fibreglass content of 50%, has excellent mechanical strength, and its temperature in use may rise momentarily to 200 °C. The material is also UV‑resistant. We deliver PA 6.6/X GF50 as plastic sheets and rods.
