Endur offers both high impact resistance and elongation at break, resulting in tough parts. The material also has a heat-deflection temperature up to 129°F / 54°C (HDT @ 0.45MPa per ASTM D-648-06) and has excellent dimensional stability for its material class.

These properties make the new material suitable for a wide range of form, fit and assembly applications, including: flexible living hinges, moving parts, assembled parts and snap-fit parts such as those used for lids and packaging case application (see illustration).

In addition, Endur, which is available in bright white, features good surface finish, for a smooth look and feel.
