Cycoloy
The High-Performance Engineering Polymer for Strength and Versatility
What is Cycoloy?
Cycoloy is a high-performance polymer blend of polycarbonate (PC) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). This combination creates a material that delivers exceptional impact resistance, heat stability, and chemical resistance, making it an ideal choice for industries like automotive, electronics, medical, and industrial manufacturing. At Stephens Plastics, we specialise in Cycoloy plastic solutions, ensuring our clients receive the best material for their applications.
Why Choose Cycoloy for Your Application?
Cycoloy is a go-to material for applications requiring strength, durability, and processability. At Stephens Plastics, we recommend Cycoloy plastic because it offers:
- Superior Impact Resistance: Stronger than standard ABS and more durable than pure polycarbonate.
- Excellent Thermal Stability: Withstands extreme temperatures while maintaining strength.
- Outstanding Chemical Resistance: Resistant to cleaning agents, oils, and industrial chemicals.
- Ease of Processing: Ideal for injection moulding and complex designs.
- Flame Retardant Options: Meets strict safety regulations for electrical and automotive applications.
Cycoloy vs. Other Engineering Polymers: How Does It Compare?
Choosing the right engineering-grade thermoplastic blend is crucial for ensuring durability and performance. Here’s how Cycoloy plastic compares:
| Feature | Cycoloy (PC/ABS) | Standard ABS | Polycarbonate (PC) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Impact Resistance | Excellent | Moderate | High |
| Heat Resistance | High | Limited | Excellent |
| Chemical Resistance | Outstanding | Moderate | Moderate |
| Ease of Processing | High | High | Moderate |
| Flame Retardant Options | Available | Limited | Available |
Unlike standard ABS, Cycoloy sheets offer enhanced impact strength and temperature resistance, making them an excellent alternative for high-performance applications.
