Kalix® 3850 BK 000 by Syensqo is a high performance amorphous polyphthalamide (PPA) grade reinforced with 50% glass fiber. Contains monomers from the sebacic acid chain derived from non-food competing and GMO-free (genetically modified organism) castor oil. Consists of 16% renewable content, according to the ASTM D6866 test method for determining bio-based carbon content. Is uniquely formulated to prevent warpage and flash in parts produced using the injection molding process. Kalix® 3850 BK 000 is a paintable, platable and stain resistant grade. Exhibits low flash, low warpage, higher strength and stiffness. Exhibits dimensional stability, outstanding impact resistance, high flow and hot water moldability. Shows improved chemical resistance as compared to traditional polycarbonate (PC) and PC/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) materials. Provides high quality surface finish and fill thin wall section parts. Recommended for mobile electronics industry like cell phones, electrical parts, electrical and electronic applications.
