Product overview & key benefits
PA6 (polyamide 6, nylon 6) is a tough, wear-resistant engineering plastic. Glass-fiber reinforcement raises its stiffness and heat resistance, so reinforced PA6 replaces metal in many automotive, tool and electrical parts.
The grades on this page are injection grades in natural color: PA6-15 with 15% glass fiber and PA6-30 with 30% glass fiber. Other grades and colors are quoted on request.
Glass-fiber options
Glass-fiber reinforcement raises stiffness and heat resistance for structural parts.
Specified on your terms
We quote against your mechanical and processing requirements and send the batch COA for each lot.
Technical specifications
| Parameter | Typical value |
|---|---|
| Product name | PA6 |
| Material | Polyamide |
| Grades | PA6-15 (15% GF), PA6-30 (30% GF) |
| Melting point (typical for the polymer) | about 220 °C |
| Process | Injection molding |
| Form | Pellets |
Tensile strength, flexural modulus, impact strength, heat deflection temperature, moisture and flame rating depend on the grade and are stated on the TDS and batch COA; the values for your order are confirmed in the quotation and contract.
Applications by Industry
Where PA6 is used, and what to confirm before you switch supply.
Automotive parts
Used for brackets, covers, fan shrouds and other parts that need stiffness and toughness.
Check before trial
- Part and load
- Glass-fiber content
- Color
Tool parts
Used for power-tool housings and tool components that need impact strength.
Check before trial
- Impact requirement
- Surface finish
- Volume
Electrical and electronic parts
Used for connectors, housings and switch parts.
Check before trial
- Flame rating if required
- Color
- Compliance statements
Selection & comparison
Choosing the right PA6 grade
| Your requirement | What usually works |
|---|---|
| Housings and general parts | Unreinforced or lower glass-fiber grade |
| Structural and under-hood parts | Glass-fiber reinforced grade (e.g. 30% GF) |
| Electrical parts needing a flame rating | Ask for a flame-retardant grade and its UL data |
| Replacing an existing supplier | Send your current TDS or COA; we quote against the parameters you approve |
Packaging & storage
Packaging
Tell us the bag size and pallet requirements you need; we confirm the packaging with the quotation.
Storage
Keep bags sealed. Polyamides absorb moisture — dry the pellets to the moisture level on the TDS before molding.
From first email to approved supply
Name the end use
The part, the load and the temperature it sees: the grade follows from that.
Compare the numbers that matter
Tensile and flexural properties, impact strength, heat deflection temperature, glass-fiber content and moisture.
Dry before molding
Check moisture on arrival and dry to the TDS level; wet pellets cause splay and brittle parts.
Trial, then lock the spec
Mold trial parts, test them, and keep the approved lot COA as the reference.
Tell us your requirement. We match the grade.
Tell us the part you mold and the grade you use now, the quantity and the destination port. Add your current specification and we will quote against it.

Which properties should I compare between offers?
Glass-fiber content, tensile and flexural strength, impact strength, heat deflection temperature and moisture.
Do I need to dry the pellets?
Yes. Polyamides absorb moisture; dry to the level on the TDS before molding.
Can you match my current grade?
Send your current TDS; we quote a grade against the properties you approve and send samples for a molding trial.
