Product Description
ASTAPET™ MDA282 is a 30% glass fibre filled grade of polybutylene terephthalate/recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PBT/PET) alloy. It is designed for applications where heat resistance and high rigidity are required and a good surface appearance is important. Note: The letters "U" or "W" indicate UV stabilisation has been added [ ie: Astaloy™ MDA282-U ]. ASTAPET™ MDA282 is a development grade. The typical physical properties are based on limited experimental data and are subject to frequent review
