Material for Micro-Tec GN insulating glass fibre reinforced polyamide66 probes
The material used for manufacturing the Micro-Tec GN series insulating plastic probes is a Polyamide 66 (Nylon 66) reinforced with 50% glass fibres.
It is used for the following products:
#52-001056 Micro-Tec GN1 glass fibre reinforced polyamide 66 probe, fine pointed / strong flat
#52-001057 Micro-Tec GN2 glass fibre reinforced polyamide 66 probe, curved pointed / strong flat
#52-001058 Micro-Tec GN3 glass fibre reinforced polyamide 66 probe, sharp flat / large flat
#52-001059 Micro-Tec GNS glass fibre reinforced polyamide 66 probes, set of all three
General remarks:
- GN series is the engineering plastic polyamide 66 (PA66) reinforced with 50% fine glass fibre
- heat stabilised and good heat capacity
- high rigidity, good tensile strength
- high fatigue and creep resistance
- excellent wear and abrasion resistance
- good chemical resistance against oils, grease, fuels and non-polar solvents
- not resistant to strong acids, alkalis, hot water or steam
- insulating
- typical applications include probes, tweezers, tweezers tips and tool handles
