When reliable mold filling, design freedom, and efficiency are key to success, Epsan Sprint Grades—exclusively distributed by Grässlin Kunststoffe—set new standards. These high-performance polyamides are specifically developed for high-speed injection molding and offer an exceptional combination of process optimization, design freedom, and cost-effectiveness. Whether in the automotive industry, in industrial applications, or in technical furniture components—anywhere complex, thin-walled plastic parts are required, the Sprint Grades demonstrate their strengths.
Sprint – the name says it all
The secret to the success of Epsan Sprint Grades lies in this principle: maximum flowability without compromising mechanical properties. Where conventional compounds reach their limits, the Sprint grades open up new possibilities in mold making and product design:
- Flow path lengths up to 80% longer than those of standard types ensure reliable mold filling, even with thin-walled and complex geometries.
- Shorter cycle times (up to 40%) result in noticeably faster production and lower unit costs.
- Lower tool and machining temperatures (up to 20 °C lower) reduce energy consumption and minimize wear on machines and tools.
All this without compromising tensile strength, heat resistance, or impact strength—the mechanical properties remain at the high level of conventional PA6 and PA66 compounds.
Here's what the Epsan Sprint Grades can do
1. Process advantages that pay off:
- Higher parts output per machine
- Lower energy consumption
- Preserving Tool Technology
- Easier demolding
- Reduced clamping force – smaller machines can be used cost-effectively
2. Design Freedom & Component Optimization:
- Fewer injection points required
- More complex and intricate designs are possible
- Potential for Optimization in Material Usage and Weight
3. Typical examples of use:
- Engine Covers
- Cylinder head covers
- Oil pans
- Side mirror housing
- Power Tool Housing
- High-quality furniture components
The Sprint Grades are available in the following versions, among others:
- EPLAMID 6 SPRINT GFR 25 / 30 / 50 (PA6)
- EPLAMID 66 SPRINT GFR 30 / 50 (PA66)
