What’s Driving Demand for Glass Filled Nylon?

“Rising Glass-Filled Nylon Usage in Automotive and Other Industries”

Surge in demand for high-performance nylon in automotive and electronics industries, as well as in the manufacturing sector, as a result of the continuance of production following lockdowns, will, in turn, create tremendous growth opportunities globally.

Demand for glass-filled nylon from automotive to industrial use is anticipated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. Apart from being lightweight and versatile, nylon additionally allows better layout flexibility, which permits the manufacturing of superior shapes without compromising the protection and balance of the products.

“Beneficial Properties of Glass-Filled Nylon Over Normal Nylon”

Nylon is a strong synthetic polymer that was a widely used fabric during World War II for making parachutes and other products. Nylon is a strong material; however, it becomes robust when filled with glass. Owing to this, the properties of nylon get transformed, such as significant rise in tensile strength and stiffness, lower thermal expansion rate, increased hardness, augmented stability in extreme temperature, etc.

Use of glass-filled nylon has been widening owing to the above properties. Glass-filled nylon has significant applications in different industries. Glass-filled nylon is used in engine compartments to offer extra thermal protection in automotive, 3D printing, consumer products, and electronic appliances, to name a few.

Further, nylon is becoming more popular in electrical and electronic components as it is more environmentally-friendly than plastics and has better electrical insulating characteristics.

In addition to being lightweight and versatile, the material provides for greater design freedom, enabling the production of new designs without compromising on vehicle stability and safety.
