Wellman uses a combination of particulate and fibrous shaped mineral to reinforce nylon 6 for improved dimensional stability and stiffness at elevated temperatures. The increased stiffness reduces drag resistance seen during mold ejection which allows the injection molded article to be ejected sooner, reducing overall cycle time during processing.
15 - 40% loadings are typical. The addition of mineral to nylon 6 increases the HDT and also reduces cycle time when compared to unfilled nylon. Mineral reinforced PA6 is often used for automotive wheel covers and for painted parts.
