Achieve performance equivalent to PA66 glass fiber-filled materials Lower warpage compared with PA66 glass fiber-filled materials Cost-effective alternative to PA66 glass fiber-reinforced materials

Testing at Fraunhofer ICT Institute in Pfinztal, Germany has shown that a 40% filled reSound™ NF formulation has equivalent performance to a 30% filled short glass fiber reinforced alternative, at a 7-8% lower density. They feature densities 5-10% lower than comparable glass fiber formulations to reduce weight. New reSound NF solutions are based on polypropylene chemistry.
