The material has excellent burst pressure properties and can be processed by extrusion and injection molding. The aging stability of Elastollan® 1400 ensures long-lasting performance – a versatile choice for a wide range of applications.

The shrinkage rate of plastic reflects the degree of dimensional reduction in a plastic part after it is removed from the mold and cooled. Factors affecting plastic shrinkage include the type of plastic, molding conditions, and mold structure. Different plastics exhibit varying shrinkage rates. Additionally, the shrinkage rate is significantly influenced by the part's shape, complexity of internal structure, and the presence of inserts.

Automotive engineering plastics are driving comprehensive technological upgrades and green transformations across body structures, exterior systems, powertrain-chassis, and interiors through innovations in lightweighting, high performance, and sustainability.

CYCOLOY™ CX7240 is a high-performance, non-halogen flame retardant PC/ABS alloy from SABIC. It combines PC’s heat resistance and impact strength with ABS’s excellent flowability, achieving UL 94 V-0 rating down to 0.75 mm thin wall while complying with RoHS and REACH. With a density of 1.19–1.20 g/cm³, MFR of 15–18 g/10min, tensile modulus of 2600 MPa, and water absorption of only 0.20%, it delivers balanced rigidity, toughness, and dimensional stability. Ideal for thin-wall precision parts in electronics & electrical housings, rail transit, medical devices, and smart appliances. Its halogen-free system produces low smoke and low corrosive gases, solving key challenges such as thin-wall flame retardancy failure, halogen compliance risk, and narrow processing windows. CX7240 is a reliable enabler for lightweight, high-safety designs.
