LATI LARAMID G/50 50% Glass Filled Polyphtalamide (PPA) Based Compound

Subcategory: Polyphthalamide; Thermoplastic; Polymer

Material Notes:
Description: Laramid compounds are based on a unique semi-crystalline engineering polymer (polyphtalamide) offering improved performance compared to traditional engineering thermoplastics (such as polycarbonate, Nylons, polyesters and acetals) at a lower cost than specialty polymers (PEEK™ and liquid crystal polymers). Laramid offers excellent mechanical properties (strength, stiffness, fatigue and creep resistance) over a broad temperature range, exceptional thermal resistance good dimensional stability and good processing characteristics. Furthermore, it's properties are not affected much by typical moisture levels therefore Laramid compounds do not require critical drying procedures and can be easily employed for complicated part production using conventional molding equipment. Glass fiber reinforced Laramid requires accurate design to reduce differential shrinkage and to minimize warpage of parts.

Specific Notes for this Material: PPA, 50% glass fiber
