Applications:

1. Automotive Industry
   • Radilon® A HSX 100 NT is widely used in automotive applications due to its ability to withstand mechanical stress and impacts while maintaining dimensional stability. Its toughened nature makes it ideal for components exposed to vibrations or occasional impacts. Specific applications include:
     • Under-the-Hood Components: Clips, brackets, and connectors that require impact resistance and resistance to automotive fluids like oils and coolants. The material’s chemical resistance ensures longevity in harsh environments.
     • Interior Components: Seatbelt guides, dashboard supports, and other interior fittings benefit from the resin’s toughness and aesthetic natural color, which can be easily dyed for visual appeal.
     • Exterior Trim Parts: Bumper inserts and protective covers leverage the material’s impact resistance to endure minor collisions and environmental exposure.
   • Data Support: The notched Izod impact strength (10–15 kJ/m²) ensures that components can absorb energy from impacts without cracking, while the material’s chemical resistance (stable against hydrocarbons) supports its use in fuel system components.
2. Electrical and Electronics
   • In the electrical/electronics sector, Radilon® A HSX 100 NT is valued for its electrical insulation properties and ability to withstand mechanical stress. Applications include:
     • Connectors and Housings: The resin is used for electrical connectors and switchgear housings, where its impact resistance protects against accidental drops or mechanical shocks during assembly or use.
     • Cable Management Components: Cable ties and clips benefit from the material’s flexibility and toughness, ensuring secure fastening without brittle failure.
   • Data Support: The material’s dielectric strength (typically >20 kV/mm) and good electrical insulation properties make it suitable for low- to medium-voltage applications. Its toughness ensures durability during repeated handling or installation.
3. Industrial and Consumer Goods
   • Radilon® A HSX 100 NT is employed in industrial and consumer goods where durability and impact resistance are essential. Examples include:
     • Tool Handles and Grips: The resin’s toughness and ergonomic properties make it ideal for tool handles, providing comfort and durability during prolonged use.
     • Sporting Goods: Components like protective gear or equipment housings benefit from the material’s ability to absorb impacts without fracturing.
     • Machinery Components: Fasteners, gears, and brackets in industrial machinery leverage the resin’s balance of stiffness and impact resistance for reliable performance under dynamic loads.
   • Data Support: The flexural modulus (2,500–3,000 MPa) ensures sufficient rigidity for structural components, while the high impact strength supports applications where sudden mechanical shocks are common.
4. Other Specialty Applications
   • The resin’s versatility extends to niche applications, such as:
     • Medical Device Housings: Non-critical medical device components, like equipment casings, benefit from the material’s toughness and ease of sterilization.
     • Furniture Components: Chair bases or structural supports use the resin for its impact resistance and aesthetic finish in natural color.
   • Data Support: The material’s good flowability (melt flow index typically 10–20 g/10 min at 275°C, 2.16 kg) ensures precise molding of complex geometries, critical for both medical and furniture applications.
