Cam Elyaf

Glass fibre (chopped strand)

Chopped glass fibre doubles or triples the tensile strength and stiffness of thermoplastics and lifts the heat-deflection temperature close to the melting point. The surface sizing (silane) is chosen for the polymer, with separate types for polyamide, polyester and polypropylene. It is the basic reinforcement of compound production.

Overview

Cam Elyaf is the standard grade of the GF family in the additives group. It is used in applications such as pa, pbt, pp and pps compounding, structural parts replacing metal, high-temperature electrical parts. The grade with the right flow for injection, extrusion or another process is specified in the quotation together with your quantity and colour; TDS and SDS are sent with the quotation.

Tensile strength is measured to ISO 527, melt flow rate to ISO 1133, heat deflection temperature to ISO 75 (1.8 MPa); flammability class per UL94. Depending on supplier and grade, values can fall outside this range.

Applications

  • PA, PBT, PP and PPS compounding
  • Structural parts replacing metal
  • High-temperature electrical parts
  • Housings needing dimensional stability

Documents

The supplier's technical data sheet (TDS) and safety data sheet (SDS) for Cam Elyaf are sent by e-mail with the quoted grade; because the same code has different sheets at different suppliers we do not publish a single file on the site. To see the sheet in advance, request it with the link below.
