Chopped Strands for Thermoplastics Reinforcement Direct Access Products available Applications Our transport applications such as refrigerated trucks, delivery vans, caravans, … also flat laminates in the building & construction sector. In marine applications, most boat builders in Europe use mats for laminate construction   PRODUCTS AVAILABLE Ref Processing and characteristics Data sheet Material Safety Data sheet 983 983 is optimised for PA resin reinforcement, and more particularly for PA66 and PA6, to offer, among others, improved processing characteristics and an outstanding retention of mechanical performance after hydrolyrtic ageing. It could also be used for reinforcement of PET, PS & ABS. 995 This new product is a 4.5mm length chopped strand with a filament diameter of 10µm or 14 µm. The sizing of 995 was optimised to forward the best profile of mechanical properties "dry as moulded" in the whole range of PA resins ( PA66, PA11, PA12, semi-automatic PA ). Among others, 995 is particularly performing in impact modified grades and its mechanical properties are not affected at all by any kind of interaction with stearates mould release agents. 952 952 is specifically engineered for PBT & PET reinforcement, offering excellent processing characteristics while providing outstanding mechanical performance . It is also suitable for the reinforcement of PC, SAN, ABS & POM. 968 968 is optimised for polyolefin reinforcement, and more particularly for PP, providing improved processing characteristics, high mechanical performance and a light compound colour. 910 910 is specifically engineered for high temperature thermoplastic resins, and more particularly for PPS, LCP and PPE/PPO reinforcement, giving optimum processing characteristics and excellent mechanical properties.     923   923 is specifically engineered for high temperature thermoplastic resins, and more particularly for LCP 923 has been designed to allow the development of new generation of LCP for use in E&E and mainly connectors. LCP reinforced with 923 will benefit of a low level of blistering during lead-free soldering process.     P368 P368 is a high performance E-glass chopped strand used in extrusion/compression moulding with polypropylene resin systems such as Long Fibres Thermoplastic (LFT) technology 91F 91F is a high performance E-glass chopped strand used in extrusion compounding to reinforce PPS, forwarding more particularly the benefit of outstanding retention of mechanicals after hot water/glycol hydrolysis. 93A XF 93A XF is a high performance E-glass chopped strand used in extrusion compounding with styrenic resin systems (SAN, ABS, PS, SMA, …). 93AXF is manufactured according to Saint-Gobain Vetrotex “XF “ process providing “Xtra Flow”and low fines characteristics to the products. CSPA CSPA is a performing E-glass chopped strand used in extrusion compounding with polyamide resin systems. CSPA do not contain any Nonyl Phenol Ethoxylates (NPE) and so is a “NPE free” product. APPLICATIONS Examples of automotive applications include air intake manifolds, handbrakes, cooling modules, rocker covers and pedal assemblies. Many E/E applications are in electrical connectors, and household applications such as washing machine drums are typical. Other applications such as camera parts, are also good examples.
