What Is It?
NEXXALON™ Glass Filled Compound, providing the rigidity a gear housing needs to hold internal gear alignment.
How It's Manufactured
Glass fiber is compounded into heat-stabilized PA6 resin for consistent mechanical performance batch to batch.
Manufacturing Process for This Application
A gear housing is injection molded with precise bearing-bore locations, since gear mesh and alignment inside the housing depend on those bores holding position under running load.
Why Polymer Choice Matters Here
A gear housing that flexes under load will misalign the gears it encloses, causing noise, wear, or eventual failure — glass reinforcement's stiffness is what keeps bearing bores in position under the drivetrain's running torque.
Why This Compound Is Suited
"Gear housing" is explicitly listed among this grade's applications.
Nexxa Compounds is a leading manufacturer of PA6 compounds for gear housing applications in India, supplying some of the largest manufacturers across India and internationally.
