#BLEND

• Blend PC/ASA  is a mixture of PC and ASA. ASA is an amorphous polymer that offers good resistance to both UV rays and humidity, while PC has high impact and temperature resistance. PC/ASA therefore guarantees high elongation at break, excellent aesthetic appearance, excellent dimensional stability and excellent colorability.

Typical applications of PC/ASA : automotive industry; electrical and electronic appliances; consumer goods and household items; security equipment; lighting; medical; building.

• Blend PC/PBT is a mixture of polycarbonate (PC) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). PC/PBT is a polymer that has good chemical resistance, excellent mechanical resistance even at low temperatures, heat resistance and good fluidity.

Typical applications of PC/PBT : items for the electrical and electronics industry (connectors - sockets - containers - low voltage electrical panels - accessories for lamps - switches); automotive industry (components for the ignition system - components for the electrical system - sensors, engine compartment components); housings for household appliances, various containers, components for insulation, components for plumbing; can also be used in accessories for hydraulics, wind, robotics, geothermal, drones.

• Blend PA/ABS are blends of polyamide plus ABS which, thanks to a special formulation, simultaneously enjoy the advantages of an amorphous and a semi-crystalline product. PA / ABS blends in fact offer the typical advantages of ABS, such as chemical resistance and stress cracking, with at the same time smoothness of the surface and abrasion resistance. Compared to polyamide, PA / ABS also improves workability and the tendency to shrink and deform. In addition, it reduces water absorption, increases impact resistance and traction characteristics on newly printed products. However, since the addition of semi-crystalline PA to ABS increases the shrinkage of the mold, the addition of filler is recommended. Due to the high processing temperatures of the PA, it is essential to use high heat ABS. For adequate impact performance, at least 10% by weight of ABS must be removed, but compatibility is required at this level. The alloys show good workability, surface finish, high heat stability, resistance to chemicals, oils, wear and abrasion, dimensional stability, low temperature impact resistance, reduced sensitivity to humidity.

Typical applications of PA/ABS : peripheral components of the automotive dashboard, central control panels, dashboard covers and air conditioning vents, sports equipment and housings (thanks to the excellent impact at low temperature and fatigue resistance), ski wheels for motorcyclists, ski boots , heels, lawn mowers, PC and housings for power tools.

• Il Blend PA6/66 is a co-polyamide of PA6 and PA66, which combines the high thermal performance of PA66 with the best planarity and dimensional stability of PA6. PA6/66 is a polymer that has an intermediate viscosity, an exceptional rigidity and ductility, in a wide range of applications. The optimized crystallization profile improves melting, allowing parts with excellent intermediate layer strength and high surface quality.

Typical applications of PA6/66 : this blend is suitable for long-lasting applications that require good mechanical properties, temperature resistance and chemical aggressions, in particular for electronics, automotive, drones, prostheses, biomedical, robotics, 3D printers.
