Petra® 7010 PET (polyethylene terephthalate) - Rigid standards for strength and beauty meet with the property balance of Petra® 7010
Performance Solutions:
Petra® 7010 PET(polyethylene terephthalate) is a 15% glass reinforced
resin posessing high strength, stain resistance and excellent
surface appearance in gas-assist injection molding.
In the past, high gloss oven handles required the use of thermoset
BMC or painted metal. Petra 7010 was developed to provide a gasassist
molded thermoplastic alternative for these parts.
The excellent physical properties of Petra 7010 enabled the BASF
ADE group to develop a design that eliminated the need for threaded
inserts in BMC handles by utilizing self-tapping screws into a moldedin
boss.
BASF offers full part design capabilities including Structural FEA
(Finite Element Analysis) and moldfilling analysis to support your
transition to a thermoplastics handle.
Benefits to the customer:
Glass free, high gloss surface in white, black and bisque
Cost reduction over present metal and thermoset alternatives
Excellent color retention after exposure to high temperature
