Ttm安尼克斯尼龙ANIXT NYLON
    Heat resistance: HDT (1.8MPa) ≈ 200°C, stable in long-term 120–150°C environmentsTtm安尼克斯尼龙ANIXT NYLON
    Rigidity & strength: Higher than unreinforced PA66, with good impact resistanceTtm安尼克斯尼龙ANIXT NYLON
    Dimensional stability: Low molding shrinkage (≈0.5–0.8%), ensuring assembly precisionTtm安尼克斯尼龙ANIXT NYLON
    Surface quality: Less fiber exposure than high-GF grades, suitable for visible exterior/interior partsTtm安尼克斯尼龙ANIXT NYLON
    Chemical resistance: Resistant to oil, coolant, salt spray, and automotive fluidsTtm安尼克斯尼龙ANIXT NYLON
    Processability: Good flowability, easy to mold complex thin-walled structuresTtm安尼克斯尼龙ANIXT NYLON

III. Key Selection ConsiderationsTtm安尼克斯尼龙ANIXT NYLON
Ttm安尼克斯尼龙ANIXT NYLON
    Balance of rigidity and toughness: Better impact resistance than PA66+GF30, suitable for parts requiring both strength and toughnessTtm安尼克斯尼龙ANIXT NYLON
    Surface finish: Preferred for visible components due to minimal fiber exposureTtm安尼克斯尼龙ANIXT NYLON
    Cost efficiency: Lower material cost than high-GF grades while meeting performance requirementsTtm安尼克斯尼龙ANIXT NYLON
    Moisture absorption: PA66 is hygroscopic; pre-drying is required before molding to avoid defects
