During injection molding, longer fibers align and intertwine to form an internal skeletal network, enabling a unique set of performance characteristics, including: • High strength-to-weight ratio which facilitates metal replacement to achieve weight reduction • Added stiffness and strength to carry loads while resisting creep deformation • Increased toughness to absorb impact forces without permanent damage • High cyclical fatigue endurance to resist cracking and crack propagation • Mechanical performance that is retained across a wide temperature range • Improved dimensional stability with nearly isotropic properties and low thermal expansion • Corrosion and chemical resistance Long fiber composites provide a combination of stiffness, strength, and toughness performance enhancements not available together when using other reinforcing methods, while retaining the single- step processing simplicity of injection molding.

Ensure the base of the bottle does not have too much material or become thermally crystallized, as it will cause the bottle to become brittle  

Ensure the base of the bottle does not have too much material or become thermally crystallized, as it will cause the bottle to become brittle  

It has good tensile, thermal, flex, and impact properties like nylon (PA) while maintaining some of the same characteristics as acetal (POM), such as excellent wear, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability.
