NYCAST
GF-30%
(Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon)
Nycast GF-30% offers improved tensile,
compressive and flexural properties over conventional unfilled Nycast
grades. Nycast GF-30% provides increased load bearing characteristics
and is the choice in applications where added stiffness, rigidity and
dimensional stability is required. |
