Kalix®
Kalix® High-Performance Polyamide (HPPA) materials consist of high glass content compounds designed to serve as a substitute for metal in critical structural components of mobile electronic devices. To meet specific performance and processing needs, various base resins are utilized, resulting in enhanced processing characteristics such as minimized warpage, reduced shrinkage, and minimal to no flash. Furthermore, these materials are environmentally friendly, being both bio-sourced and free of halogens, while also incorporating flame-retardant options.
Industries
It is also used for mobile healthcare electronic devices by delivering exceptional strength, stiffness, and significantly improved chemical resistance versus materials typically used for covers and housings. It also meets performance acceptance criteria for retention of mechanical properties and color after repeated exposure to Metrex disinfectants.
