2 XENOY™ FR RESIN
Grades Available: 2
Available in: Europe, Asia, Americas
GENERAL INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION
The XENOY alloy is a blend of semi-crystalline polyester (typically polybutylene terephthalate, PBT, or polyethylene terephthalate, PET) and polycarbonate (PC). The XENOY resin family offers good chemical resistance, great impact resistance even at low temperatures, heat resistance, and outstanding aesthetic and flow characteristics. XENOY alloys offer outstanding performance in applications that are exposed to harsh conditions, or that require a high degree of toughness.
BENEFITS
BALANCE OF PROPERTIES
Balanced chemical and mechanical properties – amorphous polycarbonate content provides impact resistance, dimensional stability and heat resistance, while the crystalline polyester structure provides enhanced flow and chemical resistance
LOW TEMPERATURE IMPACT STRENGTH
High level of impact strength at temperatures down to -40 °F (-40° C). Impact modification provides both low and high temperature durability.
WEATHERABILITY
Grades include UV stabilized formulations for good weatherability
LUBRICITY
Smooth part-on-part lubricity for demanding applications
GOOD TEMPERATURE PERFORMANCE
Heat performance sufficient for paint cure up to 130° C.
ENH2900
XENOY ENH2900 compound is based on Polycarbonate / Polybutylene Terephthalate (PC/PBT) blend. Added features of this grade include: Non-Chlorinated, Non-Brominated Flame Retardant, Good Flow, Impact Modified and Improved Chemical Resistance.
ENH2901RC
XENOY ENH2901RC is a Non-Brominated, Non Chlorinated flame retarded PC/PBT resin featuring of good flow, excellent chemical resistance with PCR% up to 40%. It is targeted for E&E housing applications
