| Kelon A series thermoplastics are Nylon 66 with mineral fillers. The most important feature of the Kelon series is their high dimensional stability. Unlike the corresponding glass fiber filled compounds, no differential shrinkage occurs; molded parts are therefore essentially free from deformation. General performance values are good; the various Kelon versions have different properties as regards finish, flowability, shrinkage, rigidity, and impact resistance. The Kelon's can be painted with no particular problem, even with on-line paint at 150°-160°C. The toughness of the product is improved by using elastomer; therefore, conditioning in water to improve impact strength is not required. Most of Kelon's are substantially stable to processing temperatures. When formulated with special flame-retardant halogen additives guaranteeing a higher resistance to temperature, they can be molded as the corresponding non self-extinguishing products. These products are free from PBDE (Polybromodiphenyl ether) and PBDF (Polybromodibenzofuran). Specific Notes for this Material: UL94V-0 self-extinguishing, with halogens; 25% mineral fillers; heat-stabilized; excellent flowability; excellent dimensional stability.
