For any inquires about our KyronMAX materials you can contact us at kyronmax@mcam.com
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.
KyronMAX Structural Thermoplastic Materials Consistently Outperform the Mechanical Strength of Long Fiber Thermoplastic Compounds
Responding to customer demand for the strongest moldable polymers available without all the process and design limitations associated with LFT polymers, Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials - Engineered Solutions offers a unique solution: KyronMAX structural thermoplastics materials.
