1. Preface

Reny is a proprietary molding compound based on polyamide MXD6 (PAMXD6) that has been reinforced mainly with glassfiber or special mineral fillers. Reny generally has a higher mechanical strength and modulus than other engineering plastics. Thus, Reny is suitable as a metal substitute in many applications, especially for structural components under high stress.

Currently, Reny is used in a wide range of applications, including automobiles, electronics, electrical appliances, machinery, and construction.

2. Basic property of polyamide MXD6

Polyamide MXD6 (PAMXD6) is a crystalline thermoplastic polymer formed by the polycondensation of

metaxylylendiamine (MXDA) and adipic acid. PAMXD6 contains phenylene groups in its main molecular structure which result in different properties from polyamide6 (PA6) and polyamide66 (PA66).

Equilibrium water absorption rate of glass fiber, or glass fiber and mineral filler reinforced grade, in the atmosphere (20℃, 65%RH), is lower than the glass fiber reinforced molding material of polyamide 6 and polyamide 66, and it will be 0.6% to 1.9%.

Water absorbing speed depends on the molded product shape (surface area and volume), humidity, and temperature. Figure 16 indicates water absorbing speed difference by the molded product shape under 20℃ water, and Figure 17 indicates water absorbing speed under 100℃ boiled water.

Dimension change by water absorption will be smaller by adding the glass fiber, but anisotropy will occur by the

glass fiber orientation by the molded product shape. Figure 18 indicates temporal dimension change of 3.2mm

Generally, other than dimension change, polyamide will degrade its mechanical strength and modulus largely by water absorption. Remarkable water absorbing property of Reny can be seen in small degradation of strength and modulus when absorbing water. Figure 20 indicates temporal change in flexural strength when immersed in 20℃ water, and Figure 21 indicates temporal change in flexural modulus.

5 5 Low warpage

In thin molded product reinforced by the glass fiber material, warpage will occur from the difference in molding shrinkage of machine direction towards the gate, and transverse direction towards this. Compared to the general glass fiber reinforced molding materials, warpage occurrence is rare in glass fiber reinforced grade of Reny. Especially Reny2620, 2502AH have improved anisotropy of molding shrinkage, almost same or less warpage occurrence as mineral filler compounded PA66M40.

Table 5 indicates measurement result of warpage amount in 101.6mmφ, thickness 1.6mm" circular plate.

7. Molding Reny

7 1 Predrying

Reny is supplied in a special bag that prevents moisture absorption during storage and shipping. Basically, predrying is not necessary prior to molding if the bag has just been opened. However, Reny absorbs moisture gradually when exposed to air, so the predrying process should be applied to pellets that have been left unused at least one hour after opening the bag.

A hopper-drying is recommended during the molding process.

7 2 Processing conditions

PAMXD6, Reny’s base polymer, has a comparatively distinct melting point at 243℃. For sufficient crystallinity and a glossy appearance, mold temperature should range from 120℃ to 140℃. The standard temperature range of melted PAMXD6 during injection molding is 250℃ to 280℃. The temperature of the resin must be adjusted to produce proper filling in the mold but should not exceed 300℃ to prevent thermal decomposition.

Standard surface temperature of the mold is 120℃ to 130℃. However, when the wall thickness of the molded parts is less than 1mm, a mold temperature of 120℃ to 130℃ may be insufficient to produce the required crystallinity. In that case, molded parts should be annealed for at least one hour at 130℃ in an air oven.

7 4 Molding shrinkage and dimension stability

Molding shrinkage of Reny is about 0.3% to 0.7%, and is relatively small compared to the general glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic materials. Molding shrinkage will differ by the molding condition and the mold temperature, and anisotropy will occur by the difference of the molded product shape and the gate structure.

When designing the mold, dimension change by thermal process and moisture absorption in usage condition of the molded product, need to be considered other than molding shrinkage. This relation is indicated in next formula.

S=S0+△S1+△S2-△S3

S : dimension of cavity S0 : drew dimension of molded product

△ S1 : dimension change by molding shrinkage △ S2 : dimension change by thermal process △ S3 : dimension expansion by moisture absorption

Like the molding shrinkage, dimension change by thermal process and moisture absorption will be influenced by

the molding condition such as the cylinder temperature, injection pressure, mold temperature, molded product shape, and gate system. When making a molded product which severe dimension accuracy is required, predict a certain percentage of shrinkage in advance and make the mold experimentally, then modify the mold to gain the required dimension from that. Table 8 indicates molding shrinkage △S1 and heating shrinkage △S2, and Table 9 indicates dimension increase rate △S3 in 65% RH equilibrium water absorption rate, as a guide to calculate the mold dimension.
