On bogies and undercarriage: Provides excellent impact resistance at low temperatures.

Features & Benefits:

Excellent mechanical characteristics under extreme climatic conditions.
High flexibility and self-extinguishing properties.
High fire safety specifications.

Materials: High-grade, specially formulated PA12/PA12.

Compatibility: Compatible with PMAFIX Pro, PMAFIX fittings, and PMA accessories.

Temperature Range: Continuous: –50°C to +95°C, Short-term: up to +150°C.

Conformance: Meets EN 45545-2 HL3 (R22 & R23) standards.

Weathering Resistance: Excellent UV resistance and weathering characteristics.

Color: Outer layer is black, inner layer is orange.

Chemical Properties: Refer to the technical information on the PMA website for chemical resistance details.

Environmental Properties: Free from halogens and cadmium, RoHS and REACH compliant.

Mechanical Properties:

Impact strength: >7.5 J at +23°C, >12.2 J at -18°C.
Compression strength: >250 N (50 x 50 mm), >500 N (100 x 100 mm).
Resistance to fatigue: >5,000 cycles at -45°C, 1,000,000 cycles in jumper cable test.
