din 16742 - tg5

) is compatible with TG5 requirements, as high-shrinkage materials may struggle to hit these targets consistently. Collaborate Early

DIN 16742 - TG5 is approximately 15–20% tighter than the ISO “Fine” class. If you supply to German OEMs, specifying TG5 is non-negotiable for critical fitting surfaces.

Used for coarse or large parts where tight fits aren't critical (e.g., heavy industrial covers). Why Choose TG5?

TG5 is often characterized as a . It is stricter than general commercial molding standards (like TG6 or TG7) but does not demand the extreme, costly controls required by High Precision (TG1–TG2).

"If this shrinks even a fraction too much, the internal circuitry won't slide in," his lead toolmaker, Hans, warned. "And Polyamide loves to move. It’s like trying to cage a ghost." The challenge was twofold:
