Solvay Specialty Polymers Amodel® A-4160 HSL Polyphthalamide (PPA), 60% Glass Fiber

Amodel® A-4160 HSL resin is a 60% glass reinforced, heat stabilized polyphthalamide (PPA) which exhibits high modulus at elevated temperatures, a high heat deflection temperature and exceptional creep resistance. This material was designed for metal replacement applications. Its rapid crystallization and good flow characteristics allow shorter cycles for enhanced molding productivity.Features: Fast Molding Cycle; Good Chemical Resistance; Good Creep Resistance; Good Dimensional Stability; Good Toughness; Heat Stabilized; High Heat Resistance; High Strength; Hot Water Moldability; Low CLTE; Lubricated; Ultra High StiffnessUses: Automotive Applications; Automotive Electronics; Automotive Under the Hood; Camera Applications; Cell Phones; Connectors; Electrical/Electronic Applications; Housings; Industrial Applications; Machine/Mechanical Parts; Metal Replacement; Transmission ApplicationsInjection Molding Notes: Amodel® 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 Amodel® resins be dried prior to molding.Automotive Specifications ASTM D6779 PA102G60Information provided by Solvay Specialty Polymers.
