How to find the best grade

Grade choose is the most important action in order to fulfill part's requirement.

 

We will propose the best grade for your part. Our technical professionals will discuss after we asked your part functions, size, or requirements.

 

Please contact us before you start your consideration of new development.

 

 

We have two main grades for water application. GF35% and GF50%.

Below is examples of criteria for grade choice.

 

・To achieve cost reduction with low specific gravity, G1350A（GF35%）is recommended.

 

・To require high strength or good surface appearance, G1500D（GF50%）is recommended.

 

・For small part (～50g/part), G1350A is recommended. For big part (100～300g/part), G1500D is recommended.

 

・For low warpage, G1500D is recommended.
