Disclosed is a polyamide moulding compound suitable for producing moulded articles with improved mechanical properties, the moulding compound including A) at least one amorphous or microcrystalline polyamide, with the proviso that a test piece of polyamide A) has a light transmission according to ASTM D 1003 of at least 80% and a melting heat according to ISO 11357 of &#x3c;25 J/g, B) 20 to 85% by weight of a long fibre with a round cross-section and C) 0 to 10% by weight of at least one additive, components A) to C) adding up to 100% by weight. Also disclosed is a process for producing moulded bar granulates containing the moulding compound.

Long-fibre-reinforced polyamides

A thermoplastic moulding composition, in particular a polyamide moulding composition, consisting of, by weight:

Polyamide moulding composition and use thereof

A polyamide molding composition for the production of a stain-resistant article, the staining tendency (ST) of the article being at least 2. The composition contains 30-100% by weight of a polyamide or a polyamide mixture, consisting of 50-100% by weight of at least one amorphous and/or microcrystalline polyamide having a glass transition temperature of at least 100&#xb0; C., based on: 20-100 mol % of at least one cycloaliphatic diamine; and 0-80 mol % of at least one other aliphatic and/or aromatic diamine; and also aromatic and/or aliphatic dicarboxylic acids comprising at least 6 carbon atoms, and 0-50% by weight of at least one semi-aromatic polyamide. In addition, the molding composition comprises any of inorganic white pigments, fillers, impact toughness modifier and/or flame retardants.

Stain-resistant article and use thereof

What is described is the use of a polyamide moulding composition for the production of a stain-resistant article, the staining tendency (ST) of the article being at least 2. Here, the composition contains 30-100% by weight of a polyamide or a polyamide mixture, consisting of 50-100% by weight of at least one amorphous and/or microcrystalline polyamide having a glass transition temperature of at least 100&#xb0; C., based on: 20-100 mol % of at least one cycloaliphatic diamine; and 0-80 mol % of at least one other aliphatic and/or aromatic diamine; and also aromatic and/or aliphatic dicarboxylic acids comprising at least 6 carbon atoms, and 0-50% by weight of at least one semi-aromatic polyamide. In addition, 0-70% by weight of fibrous fillers (B1) and/or particulate fillers (B2), 0-30% by weight of impact toughness modifier and/or polymers different from (A), 0-25% by weight of a flame retardant, and 0-3% by weight of additives may also be contained.

A polyamide molding composition for the production of a stain-resistant article, the staining tendency (ST) of the article being at most 15. The composition contains 30-100% by weight of a polyamide mixture, consisting of more than 50 and up to 98% by weight of at least one semi-aromatic polyamide comprising 2 to up to 50% by weight of amorphous and/or microcrystalline polyamides having a glass transition temperature of at least 100&#xb0; C., based on: 20-100 mol % of at least one cycloaliphatic diamine; and 0-80 mol % of at least one other aliphatic and/or aromatic diamine; and also aromatic and/or aliphatic dicarboxylic acids comprising at least 6 carbon atoms. In addition, the composition comprises inorganic white pigments, fibrous or particulate additives, impact toughness modifier and/or polymers different from (A), 0-25% by weight of a flame retardant.
