 Handles are also available in two different styles. The first style, Part No. HD100 is 6 x 1-7/8" (111 x 47,6mm). The second style, Part No. HD200 is offered in three sizes; 4-1/2 x 1-3/4" (114,3 x 44,5mm), 5-1/2 x 2.13" (139,7 x 54,1mm) and 6 x 2.63" (152,4 x 66,8mm). Materials offered for both the hinges and handles are Polycarbonate (clear), 40% Glass-filled Polypropylene (black or white) and 30% Short Glass Fiber Isoplast™. Colors are also available.

Handles and hinges are designed for applications requiring chemical resistance and/or strength involving fluid handling, semiconductor and chemical industries.


 

LCP

Vectra® Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) grades offer advantages over metal, thermosets and other thermoplastics materials. Advantages include excellent chemical and hydrolytic stability, corrosion resistance, thermal stability, dimensional stability and precision moldability. Additional good properties include creep resistance at elevated temperatures, high strength and high continuous use temperatures, very high abrasion resistance and excellent electrical insulation properties. All grades have UL 94 V-0 flammability ratings and most grades have low smoke ratings, Military and Federal specifications listings and Underwriters Laboratories listings.

Typical areas of application include Electrical/Electronic, Health Care, Industrial and Chemical Processing industries.
