About
Ultramid® C218 V30
Ultramid® C218 V30 is a polyamide 6 (PA6) compound from BASF. It is reinforced with 30% glass fiber and contains a heat stabilizer.
Key characteristics:
Base Polymer: Polyamide 6 (PA6), which provides a good balance of mechanical properties, including wear resistance and fatigue strength.
Reinforcement: 30% glass fiber, which significantly increases the material's strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability compared to unreinforced grades.
Heat Stabilized: The inclusion of a heat stabilizer ensures improved thermal properties and long-term stability, particularly at higher operating temperatures.
Excellent Mechanical Properties: The combination of PA6 and 30% glass fiber results in a material with excellent thermal and mechanical characteristics.
Applications:
The combination of high stiffness, strength, and thermal resistance makes Ultramid® C218 V30 suitable for a variety of demanding technical parts, including:
Automotive: Connectors, air intake manifolds, interior trims, and switches.
Electrical and Electronic (E&E) Engineering: Components that require high mechanical performance, heat resistance, and dimensional stability.
Furniture Applications: Components for seating and other furniture.
Power Distribution: Switchgears and other electrical hardware components.
