METTON® LMR Reinforced Grade M5000-GT Polymers
- Chemical Family
- Olefins
METTON® LMR Reinforced Grade M5000-GT Polymers are tough and durable engineering plastics (poly-DCPD). It offers part design freedom with integrated functionality and part consolidation opportunities, similar to injection molding, as a replacement for traditional materials like wood and metal. The low-pressure molding process is ideal for producing large plastic parts used in heavy trucks, agriculture, construction, the military, and various industrial applications.
