Product Description
Amodel A-4122 LS is a 22% glass fiber reinforced, light-stabilized, high-reflectivity white grade of Amodel polyphthalamide (PPA). It is designed to provide high crystallinity when molded in water-cooled molds. This resin exhibits high heat resistance, high strength and stiffness over a broad temperature range, low moisture absorption, excellent chemical resistance and excellent electrical properties.

Its rapid crystallization rate and high flow can result in short cycles and therefore high molding productivity and lower part cost.
