BENEFITS OF CHOOSING PLASTIC OVER METAL:• Cost reduction • Weight reduction • Design freedom • Secondary operation elimination

YOUR METAL-TO-PLASTIC CHOICE

Stanyl® TW200F8 (40 percent glass-fiber-reinforced PA46)

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS:• Diesel engines• High stiffness at high temperatures• High toughness• Good oil resistance at high

temperatures• Low wear, good fatigue• Safety, durability• Weight and noise reduction

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS:• Better knitline strength than LCP• Blister resistance • Dimensional stability — low

warpage and low coefficient of linear thermal expansion (CLTE) below and above Tg.

• Good resistance to salts that attack PA6 and PA66

• High heat capability (581°F DTUL)

Why we recommend Stanyl® TW200F8:

• High stiffness at high temperatures

• Low wear

• Weight and noise reduction

Why we recommend ForTiiTM Nylon 4T®:

• Components for reflow soldering

• Low moisture uptake• Weight reduction

COMPETITION:• Metal• PA66

COMPETITION:• LCP

• PEI

• PPA

• PPS

Stanyl® nylon 4/6KEY ATTRIBUTES:• Chemical resistance• High HDT• Lubricity

STRENGTHS:• Flowability• Hot-water moldable• Outstanding wear and friction performance

ForTiiTM Nylon 4T® nylon 4/6KEY ATTRIBUTES:• Dielectric properties• Dimensional stability — CLTE• Very high HDT

STRENGTHS:• Blister resistance• Chemical and oil resistance• Isotropic CLTE

The chart below demonstrates the superior wear performance of Stanyl® polyamide 4/6, which is particularly attractive at high speeds at which other nylons fail.

Leona® 90G50 partially aromatic nylon 6/6(50 percent glass-fiber-reinforced)

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS:• Class-A surface finish• Colorability• High toughness

Why we recommend Leona® 90G50:

• Cost savings• Parts integration• Strength• Surface appearance• Weight reduction

COMPETITION:• Metal die-cast• PA6• PA66

• Stiffness throughout a wide range of temperatures

• Weatherability

Industry leaders call on Chase Plastics for engineered resins to replace metal without sacrificing performance or quality.

Reny® MXD6KEY ATTRIBUTES:• Good dimensional stability• Low moisture uptake• Surface finish

STRENGTHS:• Paintability• Super-low thermal expansion• Weatherability

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS:• Good strength and stiffness

retention at higher temperatures and wetter environments

• Highly resistant to oils and organic solvents and fuels

• Less moisture uptake than PA6 and PA66; less growth with moisture and better dimensional stability, especially in high-humidity environments

• Very good surface capability with high filler loadings — resin-rich surface

Why we recommend Reny® MXD6:

• Low mold shrinkage• Low warpage

COMPETITION:• Die-cast metals• PA6• PA66
