benefits
- High impact strength and abrasion resistant
Armordon® has high resistance to impact, even at very low temperatures (-40°C), and shows good resistance to abrasion.
- Low density
Low density, with good stiffness properties allows Armordon® to provide weight reduction by 25 – 50% over equivalent reinforced plastics. - 100% recyclable
Manufactured from 100% polypropylene, Armordon® can be easily recycled. This is especially attractive in the automotive sector where the End of Life Vehicles Directive is in force. - Free of glass fibre
Self-reinforcing Armordon® contains no glass fibre, reducing the damage to tooling and making handling easier. - Non-toxic and inert
100% polypropylene, Armordon® is non-toxic and demonstrates good resistance to chemical corrosion. - Easily thermoformed with a broad thermoprocessing window
The combination of the high strength core, with the low melt “cap” coat gives Armordon® a broad thermoprocessing window. This is particularly helpful where Armordon® is used in conjunction with different materials and can allow for easier processing, at lower temperatures. - Unique price/performance benefit
The mechanical properties of Armordon® result in an excellent price / performance ratio when compared to other composite materials.
