Applications

Versatile, High-strength

  • Housings: Durable enough for consumer-facing housings that need strength, toughness, and a smooth finish, perfect for electronics and appliances.
  • Automotive Components: Suitable for automotive parts requiring toughness and moderate heat resistance, such as interior components and casings.
  • Industrial Products: Ideal for parts exposed to moderate heat and chemicals, ensuring reliability in tough industrial environments.

Advantages:

  • Superior Strength and Ductility: Combines stiffness and flexibility for parts that need to withstand stress and repeated use.
  • Fire Safety Compliance: UL 94 HB flame rating enhances safety in applications where fire resistance is critical.
  • Safe for Skin Contact: Biocompatibility certification makes RPU 70 suitable for consumer products that may come into indirect contact with skin.
  • Chemical Compatibility: Resistant to a wide range of chemicals, ensuring durability in environments with frequent exposure to fluids and chemicals.

Disadvantages:

  • Moderate Heat Resistance: While tough and strong, RPU 70 has moderate heat resistance, which may limit its use in high-heat environments.
  • Limited Flexibility for Very Ductile Applications: Though highly durable, it may not be suitable for applications requiring extreme flexibility or elasticity.
