Vydyne R533 Series resins are members of a wide range of glass reinforced resins supplied by Ascend Performance Materials. Other glass fiber loadings available include 13% and 43%.
Vydyne R533 Series resins have tensile strength and modulus properties just below aluminum and zinc and can replace these metals in numerous applications due to an excellent balance of properties. Reduction in production costs, energy consumption, and part weight are key advantages of Vydyne glass reinforced Nylon 66 resins over aluminum and/or zinc die-cast parts.
Vydyne R533 Series is a heat stabilized grade, formulated to minimize the oxidative and thermal degradation of the nylon polymer when exposed to elevated temperatures for extended periods of time. Vydyne R533H provides improved retention of physical properties under exposure to long-term heat. The continuous operating use temperature is 275°F and short-term peak temperatures as high as 475°F.
