What is Polyamide Thermal Break Strip (PA66 GF25%)
There are many different materials to produce thermal break strips, such as PA66 GF25%, ASA, ABS, PVC. Among them, polyamide material is the most popular material for thermal break. Thermal insulating profiles made of polyamide PA 66 GF25% (25% glass fiber reinforced polyamide) have significant advantages.
The coefficient of linear thermal expansion (linear elongation coefficient) of the polyamide profiles is equivalent to the aluminum profile. Therefore, the polyamide profile is not subjected to internal stresses after it is pressed to aluminum profile. This is one of the most important advantages of using the polyamide material as a thermal barrier.
Secondly, the deflection temperature of the polyamide profiles under load is high. Even at 200° C for about 15 minutes, no deformation occurs. Therefore, it can easily be heated in the ovens at the powder coating process.
Thirdly, polyamide profiles do not emit toxic gases in case of fire. They are environmentally friendly.
In addition, dimensional stability and resistance to chemicals of polyamide thermal barriers are high.
