Structural thermoplastic

(OP)


Looking for reccommendations for a structural
thermoplastic. Must meet
or exceed these properties:

-Weldable with high weld strength
-Tensile strength = 30,000 psi
-flexural strength = 50,000 psi
-IZOD impact, notched = 5 ft-lb/in
compressive strength = 30,000 psi
normal op temp = -40 to 200 F

Any help is greatly welcomed.

RE: Structural thermoplastic

Celstran is a Ticona product line of fiber reinforced thermoplastic injection molding materials. A Celstran material which meets your requirements is PA66-GF50-02. This is a nylon 66, 50% long glass fiber by weight with the following properties:

TS: -40°F = 49,700 psi
72°F = 40,600 psi
300°F = 22,200 psi

FS: -40°F = 66,000 psi
72°F = 59,100 psi
300°F = 31,000 psi

IZOD, notched: -40°F = 11.6 ft-lbs
72°F = 11.5 ft-lbs
300°F = 13.8 ft-lbs

Compressive Strength: 44,900 psi

For assistance with application development, please call Mike Wesley at (507) 457-4062.

Good luck.
