Grade Features Typical Uses

Standard

2010 Super high-impact grade. Highest molecular weight category. Ski binding parts, clips
SH210 Similar to 2010, but comparable to Tenac-C copolymer in molding-process thermal stability. Ski binding parts, clips
3010 High-impact, high-elongation grade. 2nd-highest molecular weight category. Ski binding parts, rollers
SH310 Similar to 3010, but comparable to Tenac-C copolymer in molding-process thermal stability. Ski binding parts, rollers
4010 High-impact, high-elongation grade. Medium viscosity. Tape recorder and VCR parts, seat belt parts
SH410 Similar to 4010, but comparable to Tenac-C copolymer in molding-process thermal stability. Tape recorder and VCR parts, seat belt parts
4060 Medium-viscosity grade with reduced sliding noise. Motor parts
5010 General-purpose grade. Balanced flowability and mechanical properties. Gears, cams
SH510 Similar to 5010, but comparable to Tenac-C copolymer in molding-process thermal stability. Gears, cams
7010 High-flow grade. Suited for thin-wall, long-flow-distance moldings. Fasteners, aerosol valve parts, other multi-cavity molded parts
SH710 Similar to 7010, but comparable to Tenac-C copolymer in molding-process thermal stability. Fasteners, aerosol valve parts, other multi-cavity molded parts

High Cycle

5050 Standard-flow grade with high crystallization rate for higher productivity. Tape recorder and VCR parts, seat belt parts, gears
7050 High-flow grade with high crystallization rate for higher productivity. Cassette hubs, other multi-cavity molded parts
7054 Modified version of 7050, with added characteristics required for VCR reels. VCR reels
9054 Super high-flow grade with high crystallization rate for higher productivity. Floppy disk parts

Weather Resistant

3013A High-viscosity grade containing UV absorber and other additives for superior weatherability. Pipe fittings, rollers, exterior automotive parts
