Stanyl combines excellent flow properties during injection molding with a high
level of mechanical properties (strength, toughness and stiffness), short
cycle times (high productivity) and high temperature resistance (high heat
distortion temperature, high melting point). Therefore Stanyl can be used in
thin walled application (like connectors).
Flow is even further improved for
Stanyl High Flowgrades, matching flow of the best flowing LCPs while
maintaining high level of mechanical properties, unique combination! Three
commercial flame retardant High Flow grades (UL-94 V-0 ratings) are available
for E&E applications (including improved dimensional stability grades) as well
as two non flame retardant materials. Visit the
product database for Stanyl 46HF designated grades.
Stanyl High Flow grades can replace LCP, resulting in a cost savings of up to
50% due to better mechanical properties (eg weldline strength) good pin
retention and low rejects levels. Components made of Stanyl High Flow maintain
their dimensional integrity during reflow soldering up to 280°C (535°F) due to
the extreme high stiffness level of the materials at these temperatures.
Stanyl High Flow materials are less sensitive to shear heating and need
different settings during injection molding. Additional information is
available in the
Stanyl High Flowbrochure.
