PA66+GF/Nylon fiberglass thread rod Overview
PA66+GF/Nylon fiberglass thread rod
PA66+GF threaded rods—often described as threaded rod, thread rod, threaded rods, rod thread, all thread rod, or plastic threaded rod—are high-strength fasteners manufactured from glass-fiber reinforced Nylon 66. By integrating a high percentage of glass fiber (typically 25–50%), PA66+GF significantly improves stiffness, tensile strength, and thermal performance compared with standard nylon threaded components.
PTFE/polytetrafluoroethylene thread rod
PTFE threaded rod—sometimes categorized under plastic threaded rod or specialty threaded rods—is a fully threaded fastener made from PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). PTFE is known for its exceptional chemical resistance, non-stick surface, excellent dielectric properties, and high temperature resistance.
PA66+GF/Nylon fiberglass thread rod Design
The design is a simple, straight all thread rod featuring external threads along its entire length.
Thread Profile: Usually follows standard metric threaded rod (ISO) or unified national coarse (UNC) thread forms to ensure compatibility with standard nuts and washers.
Reinforcement: The glass fiber content (typically 10% to 30%, often denoted as PA66-GF30) is dispersed within the Nylon matrix. This reinforcement is crucial for achieving strength comparable to some low-carbon ss all thread rod options.
Alternatives: These are used in applications where a metal threaded rod anchor or an internally threaded rod solution is overkill or unsuitable.
Product Parameters
PA66 + GF all thread rod is manufactured by extrusion or injection molding, creating a continuous rod with external rod thread. The addition of glass fiber significantly enhances the mechanical properties of the base Nylon 66 polymer.

Key Features
The inclusion of glass fibers fundamentally upgrades the base PA66 material:
| Feature | Description |
| Mechanical Strength | Significantly higher tensile strength and stiffness than pure Nylon. |
| Density | Extremely lightweight, typically about 1/5 the weight of stainless threaded rod. |
| Chemical Resistance | Excellent resistance to organic solvents, oils, and fuels. |
| Electrical Properties | Excellent electrical insulator; essential for non-conductive applications. |
| Corrosion Resistance | Completely immune to rust and galvanic corrosion. |
| Temperature Range | Good thermal stability, with a relatively high continuous operating temperature (up 100°C to 120°C ). |
Advantages VS Disadvantages
✅ Advantages (Pros)
Corrosion-Proof: Unlike carbon steel or even stainless steel all thread rod, they will never rust.
Dielectric: Provides electrical and thermal insulation.
Lightweight: Eases installation and reduces overall assembly weight.
Non-Magnetic: Ideal for MRI equipment or sensitive electronic components.
❌ Disadvantages (Cons)
Lower Tensile Strength: Despite the glass fiber, their ultimate load-bearing capacity is still lower than high-grade all thread rods made of metal.
Creep: Under continuous high static load, the material can slowly deform over time (creep), especially at elevated temperatures.
Moisture Absorption: Nylon can absorb moisture, which can slightly affect its dimensional stability and mechanical properties.
UV Degradation: Standard PA66 can degrade if exposed to prolonged, direct UV light, though UV-stabilized versions are available.
Applications
PA66 + GF threaded rods are ideal for environments where metal rods pose a risk or have insufficient performance.
Corrosive Environments: Chemical processing plants, maritime applications, and water treatment facilities where metal corrodes rapidly.
Electrical Insulation: Used as tie-rods or supports in electronic cabinets, antennas, and high-voltage equipment where electrical isolation is mandatory.
Lightweighting: Aerospace interiors, drones, and other applications requiring maximum weight reduction.
Clean Rooms/Medical: Applications requiring non-contaminating, non-magnetic, and chemically inert fasteners.
Packaging & Delivery
Standard packaging includes PE bag, foam cover, and one double-deck corrugated outer carton for safety during transit. Delivery time is 5-15 working days depending on the quantity.
