| 45% glass fiber, for thick-wall parts (>3mm), glycol resistant, heat stabilized Amodel® AS-1945 HS is a 45% glass reinforced grade of polyphthalamide (PPA) resin developed specifically for improved performance in a 50/50 ethylene glycol and water environment. This material exceeds the performance required by the automotive industry for polymeric materials exposed to antifreeze at 226°F (108°C), even when tested at 275°F (135°C). Potential applications include a variety of automotive components such as thermostat housings, heater core endcaps, heater hose connectors, and water inlets, outlets and valves. - Black: AS-1945 HS BK 324 Applications: Automotive Applications; Automotive Under the Hood; Housings; Industrial Applications; Industrial Parts; Machine/Mechanical Parts; Metal Replacement; Power/Other Tools; Thick-walled Parts; Valves/Valve Parts Features: Antifreeze Resistant; Chemical Resistant; Creep Resistant; Good Dimensional Stability; Good Glycol Resistance; Good Stiffness; Heat Stabilized; High Heat Resistance; High Strength 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.
