60% glass fiber, highest modulus, fast cycle time, hot-water molds, heat stabilized, lubricated Amodel® A-4160 HSL resin is a 60% glass reinforced, heat stabilized polyphthalamide (PPA) which exhibits high modulus at elevated temperatures, a high heat deflection temperature and exceptional creep resistance. This material was designed for metal replacement applications. Its rapid crystallization and good flow characteristics allow shorter cycles for enhanced molding productivity. - Black: A-4160 HSL BK324 Applications: Automotive Applications; Automotive Electronics; Automotive Under the Hood; Camera Applications; Cell Phones; Connectors; Electrical/Electronic Applications; Housings; Industrial Applications; Machine/Mechanical Parts; Metal Replacement; Transmission Applications Features: Chemical Resistant; Creep Resistant; Fast Molding Cycle; Good Dimensional Stability; Good Toughness; Heat Stabilized; High Heat Resistance; High Strength; Hot Water Moldability; Low CLTE; Lubricated; Ultra High Stiffness Injection notes: Injection Pressure: 3 to 4 in/sec 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.
