Product Features & Engineering Performance

  • · Excellent dimensional stability: Shrinkage rate ≤0.12%, glass fiber content 23±2%. Parts keep high precision and resist deformation under humid conditions.
  • · Low water absorption: Water absorption ≤20 mg. Resists water ingress and blistering under long-term high-humidity bathroom environment.
  • · Superior mechanical performance: Tensile strength ≥50 MPa, flexural strength ≥135 MPa, impact strength ≥45 kJ/m². Good impact resistance for long-lasting robust structures.
  • · High heat resistance: HDT ≥200 ℃, capable of withstanding hot-water bathroom conditions. UL-94 flame-retardant property is optional.
