PARA – Polyarylamide PARA GF50
AKROLOY® PARA GF 50 HU black (8596)AKROLOY® PARA GF 50 HU black (8596) is a 50% glass fibre reinforced polyarylamid with very high stiffness and strength, even in conditioned state.Even in conditioned state, it impresses with very high stiffness and strength owing to its lower moisture uptake. Furthermore, the material shows very good flowability and surface properties. It is perfectly suitable for parts where dimensional stabilitiy is required. Besides, it can be used as an alternative for aluminium and zinc diecast alloys. The material is listed at UL in all colors.

Processing information
The listed values are recommendations. Higher values should be used for higher glass loadings. We recommend only de-humidifying or vacuum dryers. Extensive drying can cause filling problems and surface defects.
