LATI LATAMID 66 H2 K/40 40% Carbon Fiber, Heat-Stabilized Nylon 66

Subcategory: Nylon; Thermoplastic; Nylon 66; Polymer

Material Notes:
Description: Latamid 66 is a family of Nylon 66 with various reinforcements and corresponding properties. They are distinguished by their excellent flowability, moldability and good mechanical and electrical properties. Glossy finish is achievable in a wide range of colors. Pieces made of Latamid 66 can be painted without any particular problem. Nylon 66 is a hygroscopic resin but to a lesser extent than Nylon 6. This may be an advantage as it improves flexibility and impact resistance of the parts, but in other cases, water absorption is likely to cause dimensional changes that are not always compatible with tight tolerance requirements. Furthermore, variation of mechanical characteristics resulting from water absorption will not always be acceptable.

Specific Notes for this Material: 40% carbon fiber; heat-stabilized; very low electric resistivity; self-lubricating properties; very high rigidity; high mechanical properties; very low coefficient of linear thermal expansion.
