METTON® LMR Flame Retardant Grade M2200-FR Polymers

1 of 8 products in this brand
METTON® LMR Flame Retardant Grade M2200-FR Polymers are tough and durable engineering plastics (poly-DCPD). They offer part design freedom with integrated functionality and part consolidation opportunities, similar to injection molding, as a replacement for traditional materials like wood and metal. The low-pressure molding process is ideal for producing large plastic parts used in heavy trucks, agriculture, construction, the military, and other industrial applications.

Polymer Name: Polydicyclopentadiene (PDCPD)

Processing Methods: Injection Molding, Reaction Injection Molding (RIM)

Density: 1170.0 - 1170.0 kg/m³
