Stanyl® TW271B3

15% Carbon Reinforced, Heat Stabilized, Wear and Friction Modified

General Information

Stanyl® is our high-performance polyamide 46 used for applications in automotive, E&E, gears and outdoor power equipments.
Stanyl® is a high performance polyamide that provides unmatched performance and value for demanding applications in which superior heat resistance, design stiffness, wear & friction and process flow qualities are required.
Because Stanyl retains its mechanical properties at high temperatures up to 220°C, this makes it ideal for extremely high-performance applications, where it outperforms PPA, PA6T, PA9T, and often PPS and LCP.
Product
Stanyl® TW271B3 is a friction-modified high heat polyamide that offers excellent creep resistance, strength, stiffness and fatigue resistance, not only at ambient temperatures but especially at high temperatures, while at the same time providing cycle-time advantages and excellent flow. TW271B3 has an excellent track-record in gear applications.
