Strong, very tough, and highly heat resistant
RPU 130 is strong, tough, and heat resistant with an impact resistance of 76 J/m and heat deflection temperature of 119 °C. RPU 130 is composed of 30% Susterra® propanediol, a bio-based material that combines performance and sustainability. RPU 130’s unique combination of performance attributes makes it comparable to an unfilled thermoplastic like nylon and polypropylene.
Example Applications
These applications combine a need for strength, toughness, and high heat resistance, in addition to isotropy, great surface finish, and accuracy.
Push-In Rivets
Push-in rivets require strength, impact resistance, and dimensional stability at elevated temperatures.
Eyewear
Sunglasses require strength, toughness, and a great surface finish.
Housings
Many housings demand strength, high impact resistance, and dimensional stability at elevated temperatures with a great surface finish.
