Advanced Materials & Processes, July, 2002
Caption: Two glass-filled polyamide grades from Rhodia Engineering Plastics, Farmington Hills, Mich., have been introduced for applications such as this heat exchanger for an Opel automobile. Called Technyl PA 66, the grades are designed for resistance to the action of water/glycol, and to respond to sharp temperature increases in such parts.
The new grades will reportedly withstand a continuous temperature of l30[degrees]C (270[degrees]F), and will handle peak temperatures of l60[degrees]C (320[degrees]F). The material is designed for applications in cooling radiator water tanks and other parts in automotive cooling and heating circuits.
