METTON® LMR M1540 Polymers
- Chemical Family
- Olefins
METTON® LMR M1540 Polymers are tough and durable engineering plastics (poly-DCPD). They offer part design freedom with integrated functionality and part consolidation opportunities, similar to injection molding, as a replacement for traditional materials like wood and metal. Large plastic components used in military, agricultural, construction, heavy-duty vehicles, and other industrial applications may be produced with the low-pressure molding technique.
