What does the High Heat do in Spring and Electronics Enclosure?

In line with the spring decided to give us a small sneak peak on what mother earth has in store for us, I have decided to write about the plastic material description and what types of these materials should be used on higher heat materials. Especially with the high heat weather, it is important for us to be knowledgeable on this aspect.

The ABS material has set a melting point of 176 degrees Fahrenheit. If a design engineer is planning on a project that has the potential to have an above temperature than 176 degrees Fahrenheit, you will have to take a look on a very heat resistant material. We should start with Noryl®.

This material is a modified Polyphenylene Oxide which constitutes a very good high and low temperature performance that has a wide range of temperature from -40 degrees F to 203 degrees Fahrenheit. Not only that this material will be able to withstand the super high temperature but it also have a very high impact. It also has a very good mechanical strength, and it can only mean that the products that are being molded using this material can resist and be able to maintain the integrity of some potential accidents. Such as low drops or other forms of abuse.

Also, in addition to this, this material has a very excellent stability under very heavy load. It can also protect the equipment from a possible collapse that can happen under weight and pressure. One of the major downfalls of this material is that it can be weakened just by using a petroleum. Therefore, once a petroleum-based products touched this material, it can lose its integrity. It should not come near close to a Noryl® fixture. Products like these suh as coolants or some cutting oils should be petroleum free.

Regardless of this, the Noryl® is a very efficient and easy to work with material. Because it can give a whole wide variety of different fabricating options that also includes the thermoforming, ultrasonic sealing, and bonding. Also including is the CNC machining of this specific material can result to a very clean and smooth cuts to be able to increase the professional appearance of the finished product. Because of the heightened material cost, several plastic molders can apply a additional surcharge for using this material and companies can require minimum quantity orders.
