| DESCRIPTION |
The outstanding feature of Elastolit R - also a microcellular, almost solid material - is its high impact strength even at extremely low temperatures. The stiffness of moulded parts can be increased still further by adding glass and mineral fibres as a reinforcement. Finished parts are used predominantly in the automotive sector for car exteriors (front and rear skirts, door sill scuff plates) and for commercial vehicles (large-format claddings, fenders, etc.). Finished part wall thicknesses generally range from 3 to 4 mm and mould release time from 30 to 180 seconds. Using newly developed systems, exterior parts with good inherent stiffness can be produced with a wall thickness of only 2 mm and a mould release time of 30 seconds (thin-wall technology).
