PA6+GF40 (40% fiberglass reinforced nylon 6) is the core engineering plastic for automotive lightweighting. With its ultra-high rigidity, high strength, heat resistance, oil resistance, and dimensional stability, it widely replaces metals (steel/aluminum) for high load, high-precision, and high-temperature resistant components such as engine compartments, chassis, body structures, and interiors.
