Grade Selection Factors
The following factors are application references, not guaranteed specifications. Final selection must be confirmed using the current producer TDS, COA and customer requirements.
| Selection Item | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Flow and process | Match injection or extrusion, wall thickness and surface target. |
| Impact | Define room-temperature and low-temperature requirements. |
| Heat resistance | State service temperature and applicable test. |
| Appearance and color | Confirm gloss, color, plating or painting requirements. |
Information Needed for Quotation
Current grade, application, process, wall thickness, impact, heat, gloss, color, flame requirement, quantity and destination port.
