FORTRON® 1140L4 | PPS | Glass Reinforced - Hi …

1 FORTRON 1140L4 | PPS | Glass ReinforcedTicona - A business of CelanesePage: 1 Printed: 15. January 2007 DescriptionFortron 1140L4 is a 40% Glass - Reinforced grade that is the strongest and toughest product available. It exhibits excellent heatand chemical resistance, good electrical properties and is inherently flame-retardant. The high hardness and rigidity atelevated temperatures allows for good load bearing performance. This product has good weldability due to the modest fillerlevel. Applications made of this grade are electronical components ( bobbins, lamp housings, brush holders) and variousother components requiring strength and resistance to aggressive chemicals ( automotive heaters, pumps, valves, fuelrails, microwave oven rings and distillartion column packings).

5 January 2007 Screw diameter (mm)254055 Screw speed (rpm)1207550 Pre-drying conditions:FORTRON should in principle be predried. Because of the necessary low maximum residual moisture content the use of dryair dryers is recommended. The dew point should be =< - 30 C. The time between drying and processing should be as shortas possible. For subsequent storage the material should be stored dry in the dryer until processed (<= 60 h).Drying time: 3 - 4 hDrying temperature: 130 - 140 CSpecial information:No special information MoldingOn injection molding machines with 15-25 D long three-section screws, are usual in the trade, the unreinforced FORTRON isprocessable. A shut-off nozzle is preferred to a free-flow nozzle.
