Solvay Specialty Polymers Kalix® 2955 Polyamide, High Performance (HPPA), Glass Fiber

Kalix® 2955 is a 27% bio-sourced, PA 6,10-based compound with 55% by weight glass fiber reinforcement. This material is specifically formulated for high strength and stiffness applications where good impact resistance and excellent dimensional stability after molding are required. The formulation also addresses warpage issues associated with the anisotropic shrinkage of glass fiber reinforced materials so that close tolerance molding is more easily achieved. Its low viscosity and excellent flow properties make the material ideal for filling parts with thin-walled sections such as those encountered in the mobile electronics industry.Features: Fast Molding Cycle; Good Dimensional Stability; Good Impact Resistance; Good Surface Finish; High Flow; High Stiffness; High Strength; Hot Water Moldability; Low Warpage; Paintable; PlatableUses: Cell Phones; Electrical Parts; Electrical/Electronic Applications; Thin-walled PartsInjection Molding Notes: Kalix® compounds are shipped in moisture-resistant packages at moisture levels according to specifications. Sealed, undamaged bags should be preferably stored in a dry room at a maximum temperature of 50°C (122°F) and should be protected from possible damage. If only a portion of a package is used, the remaining material should be transferred into a sealable container. It is recommended that Kalix® resins be dried prior to molding.Additional Properties: Biobased Content - ASTM D6866 27 %; Flexural Strain at Break - ISO 178 3.0 %; Specific Gravity - 1.58Information provided by Solvay Specialty Polymers.
