Developmental 25% long glass fiber filled acetal copolymer
Material code according to ISO 1043-1: POM Acetal copolymer reinforced with 25 weight percent long glass fibers. The fibers are chemically coupled to the POM matrix. The pellets are cylindrical and normally as well as the embedded fibers 10 mm long. Parts molded of CELSTRAN have outstanding mechanical properties such as high strength and stiffness combined with high heat deflection. The notched impact strength is increased at elevated and low temperatures due to the fiber skeleton built in the parts. The long fiber reinforcement reduces creep significantly. The very isotropic shrinkage in the molded parts minimizes the warpage. Complex parts can be manufactured with high reproducibility by injection molding. Application field: Functional/structural parts for automotive
