Product Spotlights
As a specialized supplier of high-performance engineering plastics, Shanghai Yunshan Plasticizing Co., Ltd. is proud to offer the PET FR530 NC010, a premium-grade material developed to meet the stringent demands of modern precision manufacturing. This 30% glass fiber reinforced Polyethylene Terephthalate compound is engineered specifically to address the common challenge of warpage in molded parts, providing exceptional dimensional stability and consistency. Sourced to meet the exacting Celanese specifications, this grade represents a reliable solution for engineers and designers seeking to leverage the strength of reinforced PET while minimizing post-molding distortion and ensuring part reliability. Our commitment in Shanghai is to provide materials that not only meet technical specifications but also enhance manufacturing efficiency and final product performance for our global B2B partners.
This molding grade is formulated to deliver a superior balance of mechanical properties and processing characteristics. The incorporation of 30% glass fiber significantly enhances the base PET polymer, resulting in a material that is well-suited for applications where strength, stiffness, and thermal resistance are critical. The primary distinction of the FR530 NC010 grade is its low-warpage formulation, which is a critical advantage in producing large, thin-walled, or complex-geometry parts that must maintain tight tolerances.
Core Technical Advantages & Specifications:
Enhanced Dimensional Stability: The low-warpage characteristic is the cornerstone of this grade. It ensures that molded parts maintain their intended shape and dimensions after cooling and ejection from the mold, reducing scrap rates and the need for secondary corrections.
Superior Mechanical Strength: The 30% glass fiber loading provides high tensile and flexural strength, making components resistant to deformation under load.
Excellent Stiffness & Modulus: Parts exhibit high rigidity, which is essential for structural applications where deflection must be minimized.
Good Thermal Properties: The heat deflection temperature (HDT) is significantly improved over unreinforced PET, allowing parts to perform reliably in elevated temperature environments.
Flame Retardant Performance: As indicated by the "FR" designation, this grade offers flame retardant properties, which can be a critical requirement for electronic, automotive, and appliance components.
Good Chemical Resistance: PET offers inherent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, solvents, and oils, which is preserved in this reinforced grade.

Processing Guidance for Optimal Results:
Drying is Essential: PET is highly hygroscopic. Material must be thoroughly dried before processing (typically 4-6 hours at 120-140°C) to prevent hydrolysis and degradation, which severely impacts mechanical properties and surface finish.
Melt Temperature: Recommended melt temperature range is typically between 265°C and 285°C. The exact temperature should be optimized based on part geometry and mold design.
Mold Temperature: A higher mold temperature (80-120°C) is generally recommended to improve surface finish, reduce internal stresses, and further minimize the potential for warpage.
Injection Speed & Pressure: Use moderate to high injection speeds to ensure complete filling, especially for thin-walled sections. Adequate packing pressure and time are crucial to compensate for shrinkage.
Mold Design: Uniform wall thickness, adequate draft angles, and proper gate design (preferably larger gates) contribute significantly to achieving low-warpage parts with this material.
Target Applications & Industry Benefits:
This material is engineered for precision components across multiple industries. Its primary benefit is enabling the production of complex, high-strength parts with minimal distortion, which translates directly into cost savings and performance gains.
Electrical & Electronics (E&E): Connectors, housings, bobbins, circuit breakers, and switches where flame retardancy, dimensional stability, and heat resistance are mandatory.
Automotive: Under-hood components, sensor housings, brackets, and structural parts that must withstand engine heat and mechanical stress without warping.
Industrial Equipment: Gears, pump housings, fan blades, and other mechanical parts requiring stiffness, wear resistance, and long-term dimensional integrity.
Consumer Appliances: Internal structural components for devices like printers, power tools, and kitchen appliances where a robust, reliable material is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What does "low warpage" specifically mean for this PET grade?
A1: "Low warpage" refers to the material's formulated ability to minimize uneven shrinkage and internal stresses during the cooling phase of injection molding. This results in finished parts that more closely match the mold cavity dimensions, with reduced twisting, bending, or curling, especially in parts with uneven wall thickness or complex geometries.
Q2: How does the 30% glass fiber content affect the material's properties compared to lower percentages?
A2: The 30% glass fiber reinforcement provides an optimal balance for many applications. It offers significantly higher tensile strength, flexural modulus (stiffness), and heat resistance than 15% or 20% grades, while generally maintaining better processability and surface finish than grades with 40% or more glass fiber. It's a common choice for parts requiring good structural performance.
Q3: Is pre-drying absolutely necessary before processing this material?
A3: Yes, it is critical. PET is highly moisture-sensitive. Processing undried material causes hydrolysis (breakdown of polymer chains), leading to severe loss of mechanical properties (becoming brittle), poor surface appearance (splay marks), and inconsistent processing. Always follow the recommended drying procedures.
Q4: Can this material be used for food contact or medical applications?
A4: The standard FR530 NC010 grade is not specifically formulated or certified for food contact or medical use. Its flame retardant additives may not comply with relevant regulations. For such applications, you would need to inquire about special grades or confirm specific compliance certifications available upon request.
Q5: What is the typical shelf life or storage condition for this product?
A5: The material should be stored in a cool, dry environment in its original, unopened packaging. Under proper conditions (away from moisture and extreme heat), the shelf life is typically several years. Once opened, the material should be used promptly or re-dried before use, as it will absorb moisture from the air.
Q6: Are color masterbatches compatible with this grade?
A6: Yes, color masterbatches based on PET or compatible polymers can be used. However, it's important to conduct trials, as the type and amount of colorant can slightly affect mechanical properties and processing parameters. We recommend consulting with your masterbatch supplier or our technical team for specific recommendations.
Q7: How does this PET grade compare to PBT or other reinforced engineering plastics?
A7: Compared to similarly reinforced PBT, this PET grade generally offers higher strength, stiffness, and heat deflection temperature, along with better chemical resistance. It may have slightly lower impact strength and different processing characteristics. The choice depends on the specific balance of properties, cost, and processing needs for your application.
Q8: Can you provide material samples for mold trials?
A8: Yes, sample quantities for testing and mold trials are typically available. Please contact our sales or technical team with your details and application requirements to arrange for samples and discuss any specific testing protocols you may have.
