Polymer Master
Polymer Master is a comprehensive database for polymers and polymer composites. Besides metals, Matplus provides data for a wide range of polymers and composites. Numerous properties for more than 100 different base polymers were consolidated from over 5,000 manufacturer datasheets.
Three levels for materials selection
The structure follows earlier work on metallic materials and divides the polymer data into three levels – for targeted materials selection:
- Master level: Base polymers and blends with parametric data tables. You can model properties as a function of fillers or filler amount.
- Engineering level: Engineering materials with a specific manufacturer process or composition. The data is one-dimensional and simplifies export to CAD, CAE, or PLM systems.
- Supplier level: Concrete supplier datasheets, including material property data and safety information where applicable and available.
Benefits of Polymer Master
Besides the already mentioned advantages, designers and developers have the possibility:
Choose Master Data Set
To choose a master data set at the beginning of the design process and decide for certain characteristics like fillers and amount later on.
Check Consistency
To check the consistency between master and manufacturer data for reliable material selection.
Parametric Models
To create models based on the parametric master data sets for precise material modeling.
Comprehensive Properties
In addition to mechanical and physical properties, Polymer Master contains regulations for testing, nomenclature, environmental claims etc.
VDA Classification
All base polymers sorted by the VDA 231-200 classification for easy navigation and comparison.
Compliance Information
Access to ECHA and GADSL candidate lists facilitates the choice of the perfect material for your application.
