PA6 GF50
Extremely impact-resistant PIR-based metal substitute
Maximum energy absorption and a drastic reduction in the carbon footprint
When extreme stiffness meets maximum energy absorption: The recycled polyamide ENTRON eco B PA6 GF50 NC combines 50% glass fiber reinforcement with a tough PA6 matrix. This combination makes the natural-colored compound the ideal material for large-area, crash-relevant structural components that must not fail due to brittle fracture in the event of mechanical overload.
It offers excellent cold impact strength and is ideally suited as a sustainable metal substitute in automotive manufacturing, agricultural machinery, and construction. Derived from high-purity post-industrial fibers (PIR), this high-end recycled material enables significant material and cost savings while simultaneously optimizing a company’s environmental footprint.
