Product Overview
PA6 FR is a flame-retardant, glass-reinforced nylon 6 compound rated UL94 V-0 at 0.8 mm, formulated for electrical and electronic parts that demand reliable fire safety without sacrificing mechanical strength. By compounding PA6 base resin with flame retardants and glass fiber, Jinsu delivers a grade with tensile strength of 130–150 MPa, flexural modulus of 7000–8500 MPa and a heat deflection temperature of 190–200°C at 1.82 MPa — a balanced profile for connector housings, switch components and low-voltage appliance parts.
Our PA6 FR combines a high Comparative Tracking Index (CTI) with UL94 V-0 flame performance, giving engineers confidence in applications where creepage and clearance distances are tight. It is produced on dedicated flame-retardant extrusion lines under ISO 9001, with halogen-free formulation options for applications with strict environmental and RoHS / REACH requirements.
Available in natural and black pellets, Jinsu's PA6 FR can be tuned for color, glow-wire performance and impact strength. As an ISO 9001-certified Chinese compounder, we offer factory-direct pricing, free technical samples, low MOQ and global shipping — send us your drawings or target specifications and our engineers will recommend the right FR PA6 grade and processing parameters.
Applications in Detail
Electrical Connectors & Relay Bases
Connector housings and relay bases must hold precise dimensions under heat while passing demanding flammability tests. PA6 FR's UL94 V-0 rating and high CTI prevent tracking and short-circuit risks in compact, high-voltage assemblies. Its dimensional stability keeps contact cavities and mounting bosses accurate, reducing assembly scrap in high-volume production.
Circuit Breaker Housings
Circuit breaker components see elevated heat from switching arcs and must extinguish flames rapidly if a fault occurs. PA6 FR delivers the heat resistance and V-0 flame performance needed for breaker housings, arc chambers and trip mechanisms, while its stiffness maintains the structural integrity of the housing over repeated operations and thermal cycling.
Switches, Sockets & Low-Voltage Appliances
Switches, sockets and internal parts of low-voltage appliances are subject to glow-wire and tracking requirements that PA6 FR meets with margin. Its balanced stiffness and impact resistance allow thin-wall designs that save material and cycle time, while the high CTI value supports safe operation in humid environments where surface tracking is a concern.
Frequently Asked Questions
What flame-retardant rating does PA6 FR achieve?
PA6 FR is rated UL94 V-0 at 0.8 mm thickness, the highest flame-retardant classification in the UL94 vertical burn test. A halogen-free formulation is available for applications requiring compliance with RoHS / REACH and other environmental regulations.
Does flame retardancy affect the mechanical properties of the grade?
Flame retardants can slightly reduce toughness compared with unmodified nylon. Our PA6 FR balances this by glass reinforcement, delivering tensile strength of 130–150 MPa and flexural modulus of 7000–8500 MPa while retaining UL94 V-0 performance. For higher impact requirements, we can tune the impact modifier package to your application.
Can PA6 FR be customized for color or specific requirements?
Yes. PA6 FR is available in natural, black or custom colors, and can be tuned for glow-wire performance, CTI value and impact strength. Our engineers work with you to adjust the formulation and provide free samples for evaluation before mass production.
What is the minimum order quantity and sample policy?
We offer 5–10 kg free samples for evaluation (shipping at your cost). Standard MOQ is one ton (1000 kg), with smaller trial quantities available. Stock grades ship within 5–7 days after payment; custom formulations typically take 10–15 days including trial production.
