MAX OUT PERFORMANCE

MicroMax™ strandMicroMax strand is a breakthrough reinforcement that is enabling the continued miniaturization of advanced electronic components and will take electronic designs to the next generation. MicroMax strand will enable new thin wall applications by combining high mechanical strength, fl ow and surface quality. The future of Thin and Tough is now with MicroMax strand. MicroMax strand also enable high fatigue resistance and modulus in automotive applications.
