| Description
Polyurethane components manufactured
by reinforced reaction injection moulding
(RRIM) are used in automotive body components
where they offer weight savings, corrosion
resistance and design flexibility. They
are required to achieve close dimensional
tolerances, high thermal stability and high
mechanical properties. Microglas® Glass
Flake can be used solely or together with
other fillers to provide these characteristics.
The principle additional benefits
of using Microglas® Glass Flake are:
•
Reduced warpage
•
Improved dimensional stability
•
Reduced anisotropy of shrinkage and mechanical
properties
•
Improved weld strength
•
Improved fatigue resistance
•
Improved mechanical properties , especially
elongation
Typical Properties

effect of two grades of Microglas® Glass
Flake on important component characteristics.
