Industry Background

Rising demand for plastic materials with good thermal and mechanical properties for use in manufacturing a wide range of automotive and electrical components is the major reason behind the high heat (heat stabilized) glass reinforced polyamide 66 market development. With increasing demand for light weight vehicles, the use of plastics as a substitute for metal has become a preferred trend in the automotive industry. However, due to the highly challenging demand for vehicles in the present world, most of the polymeric materials which can substitute metal components are ruled out, either due to lower mechanical strength or high cost. Thus, high heat (heat stabilized) glass reinforced polyamide 66 was developed as a substitute product for metals in the automobile manufacturing  industry and other high heat and high strength applications.
