Ultramid® 8231G HS

About
Ultramid 8231G HS is a heat stabilized, 15% glass fiber reinforced PA6 injection molding compound. It is also available in non-heat stabilized (Ultramid 8231) and/or pigmented versions. The glass fiber reinforcement enhances performance such as strength, stiffness and heat deflection temperature. The heat stabilizer system extends the properties at elevated temperatures. It also has excellent chemical resistance to greases, oils and hydrocarbons. Applications Ultramid 8231G HS is ideally suited for more demanding performance applications such as safety helmet parts, washers, gears, engine and motor parts, chutes, and higher temperature environments.&&
