    Heat resistance: HDT (1.8MPa) ≈ 200°C, stable in long-term 120–150°C environments8kPANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer
    Rigidity & strength: Higher than unreinforced PA66, with good impact resistance8kPANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer
    Dimensional stability: Low molding shrinkage (≈0.5–0.8%), ensuring assembly precision8kPANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer
    Surface quality: Less fiber exposure than high-GF grades, suitable for visible exterior/interior parts8kPANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer
    Chemical resistance: Resistant to oil, coolant, salt spray, and automotive fluids8kPANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer
    Processability: Good flowability, easy to mold complex thin-walled structures8kPANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer

III. Key Selection Considerations8kPANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer
8kPANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer
    Balance of rigidity and toughness: Better impact resistance than PA66+GF30, suitable for parts requiring both strength and toughness8kPANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer
    Surface finish: Preferred for visible components due to minimal fiber exposure8kPANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer
    Cost efficiency: Lower material cost than high-GF grades while meeting performance requirements8kPANIXT NYLON China Manufacturer
    Moisture absorption: PA66 is hygroscopic; pre-drying is required before molding to avoid defects
