Syensqo (Solvay Specialty Polymers) Amodel® AE-8950 PPA, 50% glass fiber for modern Auto E/E environments
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyphthalamide (PPA); Polyphthalamide (PPA), 50% Glass Fiber Reinforced

Material Notes: Amodel® AE-8950 is a 50% glass reinforced polyphthalamide (PPA) designed to work in the modern automotive electrical environment.

This grade features a high heat deflection temperature, high flexural modulus and high tensile strength, as well as excellent creep resistance and low moisture absorption. It also has improved hydrolytic stability and is glycol resistant.

- Black: AE-8950 BK938

Applications: Automotive Electronics; Connectors; Electrical Parts; Electrical/Electronic Applications

Features: Chemical Resistant; Creep Resistant; Good Dimensional Stability; Good Glycol Resistance; Good Stiffness; High Heat Resistance; High Stiffness; High Strength; High Temperature Strength; Low Moisture Absorption; Non-Corrosive

Injection notes: Injection Rate: 3-4 inch/second (7.5-10 cm/sec)
Holding Pressure: 50% of injection pressure
Mold Temperature:
- Higher tool temperatures might be required for thin wall sections
Storage:
- Amodel® compounds are shipped in moisture-resistant packages at moisture levels according to specifications. Sealed, undamaged bags should be preferably stored in a dry room at a maximum temperature of 50°C (122°F) and should be protected from possible damage. If only a portion of a package is used, the remaining material should be transferred into a sealable container. It is recommended that Amodel® resins be dried prior to molding following the recommendations found in this datasheet and/or in the Amodel® processing guide.
