We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Impact Resistance",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Re-inforced PVC boosts strength and stiffness from
Polymer-Chemie, which we summarised at the time by saying "The new material's increased strength and stiffness will usually permit a reduction in wall thickness while keeping product characteristics unchanged".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Primer offers long-term corrosion resistance from
Scott Bader Company: "Texicryl 13-600 is a water-based primer of that provides 500 hours of salt spray resistance".
In December 2007, we covered the news from CML Innovative Technologies
concerning its Connect and Glo
- take a look at LED lights are easy to apply on the rails
which says: "LED lighting units can cope easily with extreme temperatures and are highly suited to impact resistance and vibrations, making them ideal for railway applications".
Take a look also at the news release from Sabic Innovative Plastics, Company boosts polycarbonate production,
as well as General-purpose enclosures offer resilience from Spelsberg els UK,
and Epoxy report aids composite choices from Smithers Rapra.
