A tough resin that allows the user to produce functional parts that require a high stiffness and durability with a good surface finish and high impact resistance. Attributes are similar to Polypropylene (PP). This material is resistant to impact stress and is ideal for tooling applications, manufacturing aids, housings, and other consumer applications such as shoe insoles.
