Product Description
Fortron 1140E7 is an inherently flame-retardant grade exhibiting extremely low flash and fast cycle times. It has excellent electrical properties, high hardness and stiffness. This grade exhibits good high-temperature load-bearing capabilities. It is especially used for thinner walled and longer flow length parts requiring low flash behavior. Good weldability due to a modest filler level. Commonly used in electrical connectors and and other thin wall/long flow length parts.

Injection Notes
On injection molding machines with 15-25 D long three-section screws, as are usual in the trade, the FORTRON is processable. A shut-off nozzle is preferred to a free-flow nozzle.

A medium injection rate is normally preferred. All mold cavities must be effectively vented.
