Product Features & Engineering Performance

  • Moderate glass fiber content delivers good flowability for one-step molding of thin-walled enclosures, buckles and mounting bosses with stable dimensional accuracy.
  • UL94-V1 flame retardancy and limiting oxygen index ≥28% provide self-extinguishing performance to meet basic fire specifications; its fire resistance standard is lower than V0 grade, applicable to scenarios without strict fire inspection requirements.
  • Low water absorption, moisture-proof and waterproof, resisting delamination and cracking under long-term outdoor exposure.
  • Excellent insulation, heat deflection temperature ≥200℃, UV and chemical aging resistance, free from deformation and rust outdoors.
  • Reliable impact resistance to protect internal meters and valves from collision damage.
  • Cost sits between non-flame-retardant grade and UL94-V0 grade, balancing fire safety and production cost.
