| Description: Latilon thermoplastics are polycarbonate (PC) products. The Latilons feature good mechanical characteristics and excellent toughness even at low temperatures, and good resistance to UV light. Water absorption is low, but a continuous contact with hot water above 50°C is not recommended, as resistance to hydrolysis is not sufficient. Dimensional stability is excellent. Ageing resistance is also very good when the products are free from strains. Reinforced Latilons are among the few polymers to guarantee good mechanical properties also at high temperatures; creep strength is excellent. Continuous no-load working temperature is 135°C (150°C for short periods). Specific Notes for this Material: 30% carbon fiber; low electric resistivity; self-lubricating properties; very high rigidity; excellent dimensional stability. 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. With reference to DPR n.224 dated May 24, 1988, issued in accordance with EC Guide-lines 85/374, LATI Industria Termoplastici S.p.A. declines all responsibility arising from an improper use of the products described in this document.
