Example Applications
These applications combine a need for flame-retardance, functional toughness, and temperature endurance, in addition to isotropy, smooth surface finish, and accuracy.

Cable Clips
Cable clips for consumer electronics and automobiles require flame-retardance, toughness, stiffness, temperature resistance, accuracy, and occasionally chemical resistance.

High-speed Data Connectors
This T2 connector for automobiles requires UL 94 V-0 rating, thermal endurance, chemical resistance, high accuracy and functional toughness.

Housings and Brackets
Demanding housings and brackets for electronics often requires flame-retardance, stiffness, temperature resistance, accuracy, and a great surface finish.
