PC/SAN for auto interiors resists heat aging.A new 10% glass-reinforced PC/SAN alloy has been introduced for auto interior parts like instrument panels, center consoles, arm rests, cup holders, and ashtrays. Bay-blend KU2-1522 from Bayer Polymers, Pittsburgh, contains a new impact modifier (programming) modifier - An operation that alters the state of an object. Modifiers often have names that begin with "set" and corresponding selector functions whose names begin with "get". that reportedly has longer resistance to embrittlement Embrittlement A general set of phenomena whereby materials suffer a marked decrease in their ability to deform (loss of ductility) or in their ability to absorb energy during fracture (loss of toughness), with little change in other mechanical properties, such from heat aging. Initial use is an IP support piece for a Ford Focus built in Germany. The resin's flow rate is 40% higher than that of the current workhorse, Bayblend T88-2N. It also has a higher warp-resistance and lower CLTE CLTE Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion (plastics property) CLTE Center for Learning and Teaching Excellence CLTE Cost and Lead Time Estimate than other current options. Vicar softening temperature is 134 C and Young's modulus Young's modulus [for Thomas Young], number representing (in pounds per square inch or dynes per square centimeter) the ratio of stress to strain for a wire or bar of a given substance. is 609,000 psi.
