Characteristics of the ZEDEX ® basic typesSpider diagramTo describe a plastic without images or numbers is difficult. A method for a good rapresentation is the spiderdiagram. On the circumference lie always the characteristics and the arrows show the quality of these characteristics.The more the arrow outward-filled is, the better the characteristic is. For example, the strength: the morethe arrow outward-filled is, the better (higher) the strength is. About the costs, a wide-outward-filled arrowrapresents a positive cost, therefore a low cost.Allround-materialMaterials with balanced characteristics are Allroundmaterials.The ZX-100K is up to 110 °C long-termservice temperature an Allround-material. Thematerial´s characteristics are till this temperature,part of a higher-than-average level.Example: ZX-100KChemicalresistanceV-valueCostTemperatureStrengthmpactresistancerictionearrecisionOptimal materialThe optimal material would fill the arrows completely.The ZX-750V5T, omitting the cost-arrow, wouldbe that.Example: ZX-750V5TChemicalresistanceV-valueTemperatureStrengthmpactresistanceCostrictionearrecisionExtreme materialSame materials as, for example, the ZX-550 areextreme materials. This material has got a serratedcharacteristics profile. In this case, the material hasbeen intentionally modified, insofar as some characteristicsare extremly good. That means as well, thatother characteristics have been reduced.Example: ZX-550ChemicalresistanceV-valueCostearTemperatureStrengthrecisionmpactresistanceriction6 ZEDEX ® basic types ZEDEX ® families Post heattreatmentMachiningShippingoverviewSterilizationChemicalresistance
