Polyamide 6 is the most widely used glass filled nylon


Polyamide 6 is the most widely used polymer in the making of glass filled nylon. In terms of value and volume, Polyamide 6 is the most widely used glass filled nylon due to its easy availability and low price. It also offers superior properties such as good tensile strength, high mechanical strength, and chemical resistance. These properties make polyamide 6 based glass filled nylon widely used in the automotive and electrical & electronics industries.


The glass filled nylon market is projected to grow from USD 8.2 billion in 2019 to USD 10.8 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 5.8% between 2019 and 2024. The market is growing due to the high demand from the automotive, industrial, and electrical & electronics industries.



The optimum mix of properties of both polyamide resin and glass fiber, makes 30% glass filled nylon suitable for use in the automotive industry. It also provides high strength and rigidity. Several global glass filled nylon manufactures such as EMCO Industrial Plastics, Inc and Nylatech provide high grade 30% glass filled nylon.
