| Description: Larton thermoplastics are polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) products. They are distinguished by a group of very interesting properties combined with easy moldability. Larton parts feature: excellent dimensional stability (with temperatures reaching 200°-220°C), excellent resistance to thermal ageing, high rigidity, low thermal expansion, and finally, excellent resistance to chemicals, even to very aggressive agents. Larton compounds are intrinsically self-extinguishing: they maintain UL94 V0 rating also in thin-walled products without requiring any special additive. Glass fiber reinforced Lartons require accurate design to reduce differential shrinkage and to minimize deformation of parts, but to a lower extent than with other semi-crystalline resins. Specific Notes for this Material: UL94V-0 self-extinguishing, without halogens or phosphorus; low fume optical density and toxicity; 60% mixed glass fibers and special mineral fillers; excellent dimensional stability; high rigidity; low thermal linear expansion coefficient; excellent properties at high temperature; excellent chemical strength; very high electrical properties compared to reinforced versions. Disclaimer from LATI: This document contains information based on average values as obtained from the results of laboratory tests and observations made on LATI materials. Tested materials were injection molded, used in their natural color, and conditioned in compliance with Standard ASTM D 618, procedure A. These values refer to LATI's best technical and scientific knowledge at the moment of testing and cannot be used as a basis for the development of applications. For a better assessment of the materials, you are kindly requested to contact LATI's technical or commercial offices, which are at your disposal and will supply detailed information on the most suitable characteristics for their intended use.
