Product Description
ASTALOY™ KSH is a non-halogenated, FR alloy of ASA and Polycarbonate which meets the stringent Underwriter's Laboratory UL94 V-0 test whilst offering a superior weathering performance to standard FR-ASA/PC alloys. Astaloy™ KSH also features high heat resistance and an exceptional impact toughness with typical applications including computer monitors and other electrical assemblies.

Note: The letters "U" or "W" indicate UV stabilisation has been added [ ie: Astaloy™ KSH-U ].
