The response of thermoplastic compounds to loading is complex and can be significantly non-linear in nature. The change in response to loading in different temperature environments for some compounds may be valuable in the design of specific parts or applications. Fiber reinforced materials are not isotropic, and can have significantly different material properties in the direction of flow than they have across flow. Series Resin System 100 Polypropylene PP 200 Nylon 6/6 PA 6/6 200 A Nylon 6 PA 6 200 H Impact-Modified Nylon 6/6 PA 6/6 300 Polycarbonate PC 800 Acetal POM 1300 Polyphenylene Sulfide PPS 2200 Polyetheretherketone PEEK 4000 Polyphthalamide PPA Bi-Directional Design Data Bi-directional design data provides approximate values for the primary flow direction (longitudinal), and the direction perpendicular to that (transverse). This data is based upon the room temperature stress/strain behavior of molded test specimens. Fiber reinforced materials are not isotropic, and can have significantly different material properties in different directions (anisotropic). This is caused by the flow/shear induced orientation of the fibrous reinforcement, and is dependent upon part geometry, gate location, processing, and many other factors.
