Amorphous thermoplastic

Properties

• low moisture absorption
• good sound damping properties
• high impact strength, also under cold
• high mechanical damping
• good thermoformability
• good weldability
• good adhesive properties
• outstanding electroplatability

water, suds, diluted acids, alkalis
Limited resistance to: alcohols, oils, grease
Not resistant to:
concentrated mineral acids, aromatic hydrocarbons, esters, ethers, ketones

 

Field of application

Parts that are electroplated and which are exposed to high impact stress.

Vehicle construction

e.g. car bodywork parts, chrome-plated trims, battery boxes, radiator panels

Precision and electrical engineering

e.g. housings and control parts

Sanitary engineering

e.g. valves and fittings, shower heads

Other

e.g. transport containers, textile bobbins, door and suitcase handles, safety helmets.
