This material combines the renowned mechanical strength of DuPont's Zytel nylon with a high-efficiency flame retardant system, making it an excellent choice for components that must perform under demanding conditions while meeting strict fire safety regulations. We ensure consistent quality and reliable supply from our strategic location in Shanghai, serving a global clientele across diverse markets.
This specific grade, FR50BK153, is engineered to deliver a balanced profile of properties essential for technical applications. The incorporation of 25% glass fiber reinforcement significantly enhances the base PA66 polymer, providing superior dimensional stability, increased stiffness, and improved heat deflection temperature compared to unfilled nylons. The flame retardant package is designed to achieve a UL94 V-0 rating, one of the most recognized standards for flame retardancy in plastics, without excessively compromising the material's processability or mechanical integrity. The black color, integral to the compound, offers good UV stability and a consistent, professional appearance for finished parts.
The advantages of choosing this material are substantial for manufacturers. It enables the production of lighter, stronger, and safer components that can often replace metals or less performant plastics. Key benefits include:
- Enhanced Safety: The V-0 flame retardancy reduces fire propagation risk, crucial for electrical/electronic housings and automotive under-hood applications.
- High Strength & Stiffness: Glass fiber reinforcement provides excellent load-bearing capacity and resistance to creep under long-term stress.
- Good Thermal Performance: Maintains mechanical properties at elevated temperatures encountered in many operating environments.
- Chemical Resistance: Inherits PA66's good resistance to many oils, greases, and hydrocarbons.
- Excellent Processability: Designed for smooth injection molding, allowing for complex part geometries and efficient production cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the main difference between this FR50 grade and standard PA66 GF25?
A: The primary difference is the integrated flame retardant (FR) additive system. Standard PA66 GF25 offers reinforced strength and heat resistance but may not meet specific fire safety standards. The FR50 grade is formulated to achieve a UL94 V-0 rating, making it suitable for applications where flame retardancy is a mandatory requirement.
Q: Can this material be used for food contact or medical applications?
A: This specific FR50BK153 grade is not typically certified or formulated for direct food contact or medical implant applications. Its primary use is in technical/industrial sectors like automotive and electrical. For food-contact or medical grades, other specialized compounds would be required.
Q: What is the recommended injection molding temperature range?
A: A general processing temperature range is typically between 280°C and 300°C for the melt, with mold temperatures advised between 80°C and 100°C. However, optimal settings can vary based on the specific part geometry and molding machine; consulting the detailed processing guide is recommended.
Q: How does the flame retardancy affect the material's mechanical properties compared to non-FR versions?
A: Flame retardant additives can sometimes slightly reduce certain properties like impact strength or increase melt viscosity. However, in well-engineered grades like FR50BK153, the formulation is balanced to maintain strong mechanical performance (strength, stiffness, heat resistance) while achieving the crucial V-0 rating. The property table provided reflects this balanced performance.
Q: Is the black color moldable into other colors?
A: No, the black color is compounded into the resin as a masterbatch and is integral to the material. It cannot be over-molded or changed to a different color. For other colors, different product grades would need to be sourced.
Q: What packaging is available for this material?
A: The material is commonly supplied in standard packaging such as 25 kg paper bags or bulk bags (e.g., 500 kg or 1000 kg). Packaging options can be confirmed based on order quantity and destination requirements.
Q: Do you provide material certificates or test reports?
A> Yes, certificates of analysis (CoA) detailing key lot properties are typically available. For specific test reports (e.g., UL yellow card for the flame retardancy rating), inquiries can be made, and documentation can be provided subject to availability and request.
Q: What is the lead time for orders?
A: Lead times depend on the order quantity and current stock availability. For standard quantities, shipment is often possible within a short timeframe from our Shanghai location. We recommend contacting our sales team for the most accurate and up-to-date delivery schedule for your project.
