PA66 GF30 belongs to the PA family with enhanced features. Since additive is added to the formula, the material obtains more outstanding properties and can be more widely used.
Our article will discuss the benefits and applications of PA66-GF30 and some other types of glass-filled PA66 for your reference. In addition, we will provide you with a list of EuroPlas PA66-GF engineering plastic compound, our highlighted products which we are sure it’s suitable for your business.
Hesitate no more. Let’s dive into the topic right now!
1. What is PA66 GF30?
PA66 GF30 is a 30% glass fiber-reinforced PA 66 with higher strength, creep strength, rigidity, and dimensional stability. After modification of PA66+GF30, the material possesses excellent mechanical properties, making it a resilient and suitable choice for high loads over long periods in high-temperature conditions. One of its example applications is the cover component for machines and vehicles. Besides, thanks to the black color of the additives, some models have better UV protection required for outdoor weather resistance applications. However, the tendency to create a marked abrasive effect on mating surfaces makes PA66GF30 less suitable for sliding applications.

3. Common uses of PA66 GF30
PA66 30GF is commonly used in automotive components, industrial equipment, electrical and electronic applications, consumer goods, and other appliances.
3.1. Automotive Industry
PA66 g30 has high rigidity, strength, and heat resistance, allowing it to be an ideal option for producing various automotive components, such as engine covers, intake manifolds, fuel system components, radiator tanks, gas tanks, suction pipes, fasteners, cooling fan, and structural parts.
3.2. Industrial Equipment
Thanks to its great mechanical properties and heat and chemical resistance, the material is suitable for producing bearings, housings, gears, rollers, and pump components.
3.3. Electrical And Electronic Applications
Electrical and electronic applications always need good mechanical strength and electrical insulation. PA66 GF30 meets these requirements, that’s why it’s commonly used in circuit breakers, electrical connectors, switches, and other electrical parts.
3.4. Consumer Goods
The material is well-fit for consumer goods requiring durability, mechanical strength, and heat resistance. The rigidity and high strength make it an ideal choice for sports equipment, power tools, furniture components, etc.
3.5. Other Appliances
PA66-GF30 is also found in many other appliances, such as in many components of vacuum cleaners, washing machines, ovens, and other heat-resistant details.

4. Other types of glass-filled PA66
Besides PA66 GF30, glass-filled PA66 also comes with different variations. Depending on the ratio of glass fiber added, the final materials are slightly different from each other. They all have their own application fields, and all are popular products in the masterbatch industry.
4.1 PA66 GF25
PA66-GF25 is the reinforced PA66 with 25 % glass fiber. PA66GF25 is known as a dry impact-resistant mixture that is super suitable for the production of structural and reinforcement. It also offers high stiffness, heat resistance, and mechanical stability.
4.2 PA66 GF35
PA66GF35 is the combination of PA 66 and 35% glass fiber which is strong and highly heat stabilized. It’s even stiffer than PA66 GF30 and is a preferable choice for mechanical engineering and aviation. One of the advantages of PA66-GF35 is though 35% glass fiber is added, it’s still possible to extrude the material into sheets and rods. Thus, you can have various dimension options.
4.3 PA66 GF15
PA66 GF15, the mixture of PA66 and 15% glass fiber, is heat-stabilized polyamide 6.6 with average strength and stiffness. Many manufacturers prefer to use the material in thermoplastic structure foaming (TSF) and plastic injection molding.
4.4 PA66 GF50
This material is the result between PA66 and a higher percentage of glass fiber (50%). This combination has higher heat stabilization and improved thermal stability compared to other extruded products. Thus, it can be used under high loads at high temperatures (up to 130°C), yet it still keeps a low rate of warpage.
4.5 PA66 GF13
PA66-GF13 is the modified version of PA 66, consisting of 13% glass fiber reinforcement. It has all the PA66 material properties but with higher impact strength. Therefore, it’s an ideal choice for technical applications in the automotive industry and mechanical engineering.
4.6 PA66 PP GF38
It’s a blend of PA66, PP, and 38% glass fiber reinforcement. Though the density, flexural strength, and tensile strength are lower due to the added percentage of PP, the material meets the requirement of weight and cost reduction. Meanwhile, the impact strength of the solution is optimized.
