Application

  • Automotive Lighting: Brake/indicator light covers, Headlamp reflectors & bezels
  • Injection-Molded Components: Heat-resistant housings; Precision optical parts

Features & Benefits

Exceptional Heat Resistance

Apec® 1695 withstands temperatures up to 158°C (VST/B 120), ensuring stability in high-heat environments like headlamp assemblies. Prevents warping during prolonged use.

Easy Flow & Release

Optimized melt flow (45 cm³/10 min) reduces injection pressure and cycle times. Simplifies molding of thin-walled parts like light covers without sticking.

Superior Dimensional Stability

Low, uniform shrinkage (0.75% parallel/normal) maintains tight tolerances in complex geometries. Critical for seamless fit in automotive reflectors.
