Product Features
- Tensile strength to weight ratio - Higher than steel.
- Weight - Almost 75% lighter than steel and almost 40% lighter than aluminum.
- Higher product performance due to better knit line strength - Lower filler levels reduce the knit line effect and increase the strength of the molded part.
- Better "practical toughness" due to lower filler loadings - Lower filler content increases the material's elongation at yield which results in the ability for the part to yield and not fracture.
- Lower filler loadings than traditional thermoplastic compounds - Lower filler levels promote
- a larger processing window and reduce weight.
