Product Description
ASTAMID™ MA3EG8 is a 40% glass reinforced, heat stabilised Polyamide 6,6 (PA 66 or Nylon 66) designed for use in the environment in which the moulding part may be exposed to an elevated temperature.

Note: The letters "U", "W" or "UV" indicate UV stabilisation has been added [ ie: ASTAMID™ MA3EG8-U ]. Typical Values for Nylon 66 were obtained on dry specimens as moulded.
