Product catalog summary
Description: Zoltek's Panex® 35 Chopped Fiber (Type-83) is designed for high-temperature thermoplastics such as PPS, PEEK, PEI, PPA, PAI, PES, and PSU. It is suitable for environments requiring excellent chemical resistance, electrical properties, heat aging, dimensional capability, and mechanical properties.
Recommended Use: The fiber is ideal for applications needing high strength, modulus, low density, electrical conductivity, dimensional stability, low thermal expansion, and excellent friction/wear properties.
Material Overview: The fiber has a sizing content of 1.5±0.5% by weight, a maximum moisture content of 0.20%, and an unpacked bulk density of 350 g/L (22 lb/ft³). The nominal fiber length is 6 mm (0.25 in).
Properties: The fiber exhibits high bulk density for consistent flow rates and maintains integrity through processing. It enhances process and product performance during compounding.
Certification: The product is certified under ISO 9001 and AS9100 standards by Bureau Veritas. A Certificate of Conformance is provided with each shipment.
Typical Properties: The datasheet provides detailed mechanical properties for PPS, PEI, and PEEK, including tensile strength, tensile modulus, elongation, flexural strength, flexural modulus, and Izod impact values, measured using ASTM standards.
Packaging: Each pallet contains 45 boxes, with a net weight of 1,800 lb (816 kg). Each box measures 14.5” x 14.5” x 14.5” and contains 40 lbs (18.1 kg) of fiber. The fiber is also available in 500 lb (227 kg) super sacks.
Safety: Users must obtain and understand the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before using the product.
