Product Description
Fortron 1140L4 is a 40% glass-reinforced grade that is the strongest and toughest product available. It exhibits excellent heat and chemical
resistance, good electrical properties and is inherently flame-retardant. The high hardness and rigidity at elevated temperatures allows for good
load bearing performance. This product has good weldability due to the modest filler level. Applications made of this grade are electronical
components (i.e. bobbins, lamp housings, brush holders) and various other components requiring strength and resistance to aggressive
chemicals (i.e. automotive heaters, pumps, valves, fuel rails, microwave oven rings and distillation column packings).
