Vydyne R533 Polyamide 66
Ascend Performance Materials Operations LLC
Vydyne R533 is general-purpose, 33% glass-fiber reinforced PA66 resin. Available in natural, it is an injection-molding grade that is lubricated for good machine feed, flow and mold release.
Glass-reinforced Vydyne resins provide higher heat distortion temperature, resistance to creep and better dimensional stability when compared with unreinforced PA66. These products have good chemical resistance to a broad range of chemicals including gasoline, hydraulic fluids and most solvents.
Vydyne R533 resin has tensile strength and modulus properties just below aluminum and zinc and can replace these metals in numerous applications due to an excellent balance of properties. Reduction in production costs, energy consumption and part weight are key advantages of Vydyne glass-fiber reinforced PA66 resins over aluminum and/or zinc die-cast parts.
