Description

PA 6 semi-crystalline thermoplastic With SUSTAMID 6 FR Röchling offers a semi-finished extruded products made of flame-retardant polyamide 6 (PA 6). This material, which meets the relevant requirements of the new European Rail Vehicle Standard DIN EN 45545-2:2013, facilitates production of large-sized machined components and component parts in small piece numbers. With 40 percent, SUSTAMID 6 FR stands out through a very high oxygen index (LOI – Limiting Oxygen Index), and is phosphorus and halogen-free. Fire behaviour is classified in accordance with UL 94 with V0. Compared to conventional materials, such as steel (7.85 g/cm³), the low density of SUSTAMID 6 FR (1.17 g/cm³) offers unequivocal benefits regarding weight and thus construction. At the same time, the material possesses a high degree of stiffness, tensile strength as well as good sliding and wear properties with simultaneously outstanding corrosion and chemical resistance. Special properties Free of halogen and phosphorus Flame retardant and self-extinguishing High hardness and rigidity good slide and wear behavior Good machinability meets the relevant requirements of the new European Rail Vehicle Standard DIN EN 45545-2:2013 High dimensional stability Typical areas of application Rail vehicle construction Aviation industry Ship building Mining Electrical industry
