Product Spotlights
As a dedicated plastics specialist, Shanghai Wenqin Plastics Co., Ltd. is proud to offer the DuPont Zytel 70G13L PA66 GF13, a premium engineering plastic designed for demanding applications. Established in 2020 and operating from our facility in Shanghai, we combine technical expertise with a commitment to quality, serving a global clientele across North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond. This high-rigidity, general-purpose molding grade represents a reliable solution for manufacturers seeking a balance of performance, processability, and cost-effectiveness for structural components.
The DuPont Zytel 70G13L is a Polyamide 66 (Nylon 66) reinforced with 13% glass fibers. This formulation is engineered to deliver enhanced stiffness, dimensional stability, and good mechanical properties, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of industrial applications. Our role is to ensure this high-performance material reaches your production line with consistent quality and reliable technical support.
Core Product Features & Technical Advantages:
Superior Rigidity and Stiffness: The 13% glass fiber reinforcement significantly increases the flexural modulus, providing excellent resistance to deformation under load. This is crucial for parts that must maintain their shape and structural integrity.
Enhanced Dimensional Stability: PA66 naturally has low moisture absorption compared to other nylons, and the glass fibers further minimize warpage and shrinkage, ensuring consistent part dimensions and fit.
Good Mechanical Strength: Offers a favorable balance of tensile strength and impact resistance, suitable for components that experience moderate mechanical stress.
Excellent Processability: As a general-purpose molding grade, it is optimized for injection molding, featuring good flow characteristics for filling complex molds and consistent cycle times.
Heat Resistance: Provides reliable performance in elevated temperature environments typical for under-hood automotive components, electrical housings, and industrial machinery parts.
Chemical Resistance: Inherits the good resistance of PA66 to oils, greases, and many hydrocarbons, enhancing durability in challenging environments.
Key Technical Specifications:
| Property | Typical Value (ASTM Test) | Benefit to Customer |
| Density | 1.18 g/cm³ | Lightweight material contributing to part weight reduction. |
| Tensile Strength (Dry) | ~85 MPa | Provides reliable load-bearing capacity for structural parts. |
| Flexural Modulus (Dry) | ~3800 MPa | High stiffness, reducing part deflection under force. |
| Melting Point | ~260 °C | Suitable for applications exposed to elevated temperatures. |
| Mold Shrinkage (Flow) | 0.3 - 0.6 % | Predictable shrinkage allows for precise mold design and dimensional accuracy. |
Target Applications & Customer Benefits:
Automotive Industry: Engine covers, radiator end tanks, intake manifolds (secondary), clips, and brackets. Benefit: Reduces vehicle weight, withstands under-hood temperatures, and resists automotive fluids.
Electrical & Electronics: Connectors, circuit breakers, switch housings, and coil bobbins. Benefit: Good dielectric properties, heat resistance for miniaturized components, and flame retardancy (optional grades available).
Industrial Equipment: Gears, rollers, bearings, housings for power tools, and machinery components. Benefit: High rigidity reduces wear, dampens noise, and offers durability in rigorous operations.
Consumer Appliances: Power tool housings, lawn and garden equipment parts, and functional components in appliances. Benefit: Provides a robust feel, impact resistance, and longevity for durable goods.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the main difference between PA66 GF13 and other glass-filled nylons like PA6?
A: PA66 generally offers a higher melting point, better heat resistance, and lower moisture absorption compared to PA6. The GF13 reinforcement in this grade specifically enhances rigidity and dimensional stability over unfilled grades.Q: Is this material suitable for food contact applications?
A: The standard DuPont Zytel 70G13L grade is not specifically certified for food contact. For such applications, specialized food-compliant grades are available upon request.Q: How should I dry the material before processing?
A: Like most nylons, it is hygroscopic. Recommended drying is typically 4-6 hours at 80-90°C (176-194°F) in a dehumidifying hopper dryer to achieve moisture content below 0.2%.Q: What are the typical injection molding parameters for this grade?
A: Melt temperature is typically in the range of 270-290°C (518-554°F). Mold temperature should be maintained between 70-100°C (158-212°F) for optimal surface finish and crystallization.Q: Can this material be colored?
A: Yes, it is available in natural color and can be custom compounded with color masterbatches to achieve specific color requirements.Q: What is the UV resistance of DuPont Zytel 70G13L?
A: Unmodified PA66 has limited UV resistance. For outdoor applications requiring weatherability, UV-stabilized versions or coatings are recommended.Q: Do you provide material test reports or certificates of analysis?
A: Yes, we can provide standard test reports and certificates of conformity upon request, in line with our quality management systems.Q: What packaging options are available?
A: The material is typically supplied in 25 kg paper bags with inner polyethylene liner. Other packaging formats can be discussed based on order volume.
