Experimental and predictive analysis of the molding behavior of a PA6 glass mat thermoplastic (GMT)
Abstract
The material targeted in this study is TEPEX® flowcore, a long glass fiber mat reinforced polyamide (PA6/GF) manufactured by Lanxess. The material is classified experimentally on coupon level, and the kinetic behavior is analyzed through standard and flash DSC analyses. Subsequently, results from experimental molding trials are investigated concerning material forming and material flow. Finally, molding behavior is analyzed on a predictive …
