Grilon is perfectly suited for processing using injection moulding, extrusion and extrusion blow-moulding methods.
Due to their excellent properties, these materials can be used in a wide variety of application segments such as the automotive industry, electrical / electronic technology, sport and leisure as well as in mechanical engineering.
The various Grilon grades differ from each other according to the type and composition of the basic polymers as well as their modification with stabilisers, processing aids and reinforcing materials (minerals, glass, carbon and steel fibers).
