Dimensional Stability

Whether from our ability to select a base polymer with a uniform and controlled degree of crystallinity and moisture absorption rate, or the understanding of techniques using nucleation or the incorporation of platy or amorphous reinforcements, our dimensionally stable compounds can meet the most demanding dimensional requirements. These techniques allow us to meet critical coefficient of thermal expansion, shrinkage and warp resistance requirements from ambient conditions through the upper reaches of a thermoplastic’s continuous service temperature rating and even defeat the variable shrinkage rate induced warp common in fiber reinforced, crystalline polymers systems.
