GF nylons have improved mechanical performance.(engineering materials)

HIGHER mechanical performance over similar nylons is claimed for new glass-reinforced nylon 6 and 66 compounds from TechnoCompound of Germany. The company says new formulations have increased notched impact strength by more than 70 per cent and tensile and flexural strength by approximately 10 per cent.

The improvements to their mechanical properties make these materials potential substitutes for aluminium die castings but also represent a low-cost alternative to …
