Vydyne R513 NT is general-purpose, 13% glass-fiber reinforced PA66 resin. Available in natural, it is an injection-molding grade resin that is lubricated for machine feed, flow and mold release. Vydyne R513 NT provides a higher heat distortion temperature, better resistance to creep, higher impact and better dimensional stability when compared with unreinforced PA66. This resin has good chemical resistance to a broad range of chemicals, including many aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons found in most solvents, gasoline, hydraulic fluids, greases and machine oils.
Vydyne R513 NT 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-reinforced PA66 resins over aluminum and/or zinc die-cast parts.
Typical Applications/End Uses:
Vydyne R513 NT resin has been used for many under-the-hood automotive applications, motor housings for power tools and garden appliances. This resin has also been used in miscellaneous brackets, gears and clips, which require high rigidity and strength.
