Product Description
ASTATAL® FG2020 is a 20% coupled glass fibre reinforced medium viscosity (medium melt flow) grade of Iupital® Polyacetal which is suited for general purpose injection moulding applications requiring exceptional rigidity, heat and creep resistance and high chemical resistance. Typical applications include whitegoods structural brackets and framework, automotive interior mirror mounts, various locking linkages and high load mechanical retaining clips. ASTATAL FG2020 is a local compounded grade.
