POLYWELL focuses on the production of high-grade PA66GF25 granules for the construction and fenestration industries. It contains 66% of polyamide 66, 25% glass fiber and some additives which are aimed at enhancing the functionality of the polyamide in thermal insulation strips for doors and windows. Additionally, POLYWELL has the ability to change the formulation and colour of products, meaning solutions are appropriate for different segments of the market.
Material Composition and Properties
These granules are made of PA66GF25 which is:
Polyamide 66 (PA66): It is an advanced type of rigid and thermoplastic material formulated using chains of polyamides with great mechanical strength and high temperature as well as chemical resistance.
Glass Fiber (25% ±2.5%): A crucial component of the granules sine it improves the mechanical attributes of the granules and gives it strength and stability.
Additives: These include pigments for colouring the granules, heat stabilizers that increase the thermal resistance and toughening agents for raising the impact strength.
Due to this characteristic they are able to satisfy the requirements of applications which demand high strength, accurate dimensional tolerances and low thermal conductivity.
Customizable Solutions
Although the specified composition resulted in PA66GF25 granules being suitable for two thermal insulation strip applications, POLYWELL still makes them customizable:
Glass Fiber Content: Can be altered to PA66GF30 to improve strength and rigidity.
Colors: Although the default color of the product is black, any color as desired by the client can be produced.
Flame Retardancy: Fire retardant additives are added to meet the harsh requirements of fire fighting without deviating from the industry standards.
Construction and Fenestration.
The main use for PA66GF25 granules is to manufacture thermal insulation strips for doors, windows, and curtain walls. Such strips are necessary as they reduce thermal bridging thus increasing the efficiency of energy usage. The main advantages are:
Increased Energy Efficiency: Making buildings more energy efficient through improved thermal insulation would reduce the energy consumption levels due to the need of heating and cooling and hence promoting green building concepts.
Durability: By the incorporation of glass fiber, the strips do not deform and break at varied temperature and load conditions.
Moisture and UV Resistance: The excellent characteristics of the new material help it win battles against being wrapped with moisture and being attacked by UV ensuring it can be put to outdoor use.
Carbon Footprint Reduction.
Incorporating the use of PA66GF25 granules in thermal insulating strips compliment the global efforts on carbon footprint reduction. Proper insulation of buildings saves on the energy spent on heating and cooling thus protecting the environment. In addition, we guarantee optimal production waste for all our products, as we are devoted to green policies of POLYWELL.
Granules of PA66GF25 from POLYWELL are a great addition to the construction industry. These granules are easily tailored and have been proven to work in thermal insulation applications which is one of the requirements of modern buildings. The POLYWELL clients on the other hand benefit by using new materials which are international with impressive value and are environmentally friendly.
