Kalix® 2940

About
Kalix® 2940 is a bio-sourced, polyamide-based compound with 40% by weight glass fiber reinforcement. This material is specifically formulated for high strength and stiffness applications where good impact resistance and excellent dimensional stability after molding are required. The formulation also addresses warpage issues associated with the anisotropic shrinkage of glass fiber reinforced materials so that close tolerance molding is more easily achieved. Its low viscosity and excellent flow properties make the material ideal for filling parts with thin-walled sections such as those encountered in the mobile electronics industry.&&
