Features & Benefits
Superior Impact Strength & Toughness
With high Izod and Charpy impact values, even at low temperatures, CYCOLOY MC1300 ensures your components resist cracking and withstand sudden impacts during assembly and daily use.
Excellent Flow for Complex Molds
Its high melt flow rate allows CYCOLOY Resin MC1300 to easily fill thin walls and intricate mold geometries, reducing injection pressure and minimizing part defects like short shots or weld lines.
High Heat Resistance for Durable Parts
With a Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) up to 115°C, components made from CYCOLOY MC1300 maintain their structural integrity in high-temperature environments, such as inside automotive interiors or near electronics.
Use & Applications
- Automotive Interior Trims (e.g., plated grilles, painted panels)
- Consumer Electronics Housings (e.g., laptop bezels, tablet frames)
- Durable Industrial Components and Housings
- Household Appliances and Power Tool Casings
