Overview

616T20 ThermoLyn PP Homopolymer

Processing temperature

  • 215°C/419°F (heating plate)
  • 185°C/365°F (convection oven)
  • 185°C/365°F (infrared oven)

 

616T20=K Poly Pro

 

  • For shape-retaining orthotic components, e.g. paralysis orthoses, DAFOs and Ankle seven
  • Sheet size of 400 x 400 mm is ideal for the fabrication of prosthetic sockets
  • High stiffness
  • High strength
  • High thermoplastic dimensional stability
  • Reduced impact strength
  • Can be reinforced with 617R11=PP Thermoprepreg PP
  • Easy to dye with Ottobock thermopapers
  • Temperature recommendation: 215 °C (419 °F) (heating plate), 185 °C (365 °F) (convection oven, infrared oven)

Practical recommendation:

  • The low impact value means great care must be taken during machining in order to avoid brittle fractures (stress concentration).
