▪ Large operational temperature range (-20°C to 120°C)
▪ Good chemical and UV resistance
▪ High wear resistance
▪ Excellent layer adhesion
▪ Reduced warping effect compared to neat PA6
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
XSTRAND™ GF30-PA6 is designed for functional prototyping and
demanding applications such as industrial tooling, transportation,
electronics, small appliances, sports & leisure…
