Product Description
Fortron 6165A4 offers a unique balance of properties based on a high mineral and glass reinforced composition. The heat resistance under load bearing conditions is excellent for this product. As with all Fortron grades this product is inherently flame-retardant. Applications include electronic components (i.e. lamp houses, connection parts and sockets) and components in industry (i.e. pumps and pistons).

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.
