aH2ANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer
    Heat resistance: HDT (1.8MPa) ≈ 200°C, stable in long-term 120–150°C environmentsaH2ANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer
    Rigidity & strength: Higher than unreinforced PA66, with good impact resistanceaH2ANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer
    Dimensional stability: Low molding shrinkage (≈0.5–0.8%), ensuring assembly precisionaH2ANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer
    Surface quality: Less fiber exposure than high-GF grades, suitable for visible exterior/interior partsaH2ANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer
    Chemical resistance: Resistant to oil, coolant, salt spray, and automotive fluidsaH2ANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer
    Processability: Good flowability, easy to mold complex thin-walled structuresaH2ANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer
