Amodel® AS-4145 HS polyphthalamide (PPA) is a 45% glass reinforced resin that is hot-water moldable. Key properties include high heat resistance, high strength and stiffness over a broad temperature range, low moisture absorption, excellent chemical resistance and excellent electrical properties.

This resin is ideal for automotive electrical and electronic applications, including connectors, sockets, switches and sensors. It is also a good choice for under-hood enclosures that protect critical control systems such as anti-lock brakes, traction control, steering, electronic engine control, transmission and chassis control units. Its rapid crystallization rate and high flow can result in shorter cycles, thereby enhancing molding productivity and lowering costs.

Injection notes: Storage:
- 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 following the recommendations found in this datasheet and/or in the Amodel® processing guide.
