Product Description
Polydicyclopentadiene(PDCPD) is a crosslinked three-dimensional mesh structure engineering plastics made of dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) as the raw material and polymerized under the action of catalyst. The appearance of polydicyclopentadiene is transparent liquid, resistant to general acids and alkalis and organic solvents, with high strength, high toughness, impact resistance, water resistance, low temperature resistance, electrical insulation, environmentally friendly, easy to mold and other excellent characteristics, downstream can be applied to a wide range.
Outstanding Feathers of PDCPD Material
Wide Usages of PDCPD Products
PDCPD (Polydicyclopentadiene ) does not contain any fiber-reinforced composite material, and the production process is gas-protected injection molding. It has been used in automotive parts, such as bumpers, spoilers, instrument panels, fenders, etc. It can also be used in shells with high strength requirements, such as battery pack shells.

Conclusion:
PDCPD materials and metal materials are isotropic ductile materials, which can be used for equal strength, equal stiffness structure design and strength conversion.
PDCPD materials have a high degree of freedom in design, and the overall stiffness of components can be further improved through shape design, and the use of PDCPD materials instead of mild steel can reduce weight by about 40%;
By optimizing the structural design, PDCPD material can be replaced with aluminum alloy material to achieve equal weight, with higher impact deformation resistance than aluminum alloy, and better structural and process implementation characteristics.
