- Thermal Properties
The unique mechanical properties of Technora® make it suitable for use in applications over a very wide temperature range. In particular, Technora® has no melting point, and only starts to decompose once the ambient temperature reaches 500 °C (932 °F). For heat-resistant applications, exposure to temperatures above 250 °C (482 °F) is not recommended, to ensure fit-for-use strength retention.
- Chemical Resistance
The unique molecular and crystalline structure of Technora®, in conjunction with the closed morphology of its filaments, prevents chemicals from penetrating the polymer structure of the material. Resistance to organic chemicals is therefore excellent, while resistance to inorganic chemicals varies according to pH value.
- Dimensional Stability
The dimensional stability of the reinforcing material is often key in many applications. The high modulus of Technora® ensures that the end-use product shows minimal deformation under a wide range of loading conditions.
