Polymer Master

Besides metals, Matplus provides data for a wide range of polymers and polymer composites with Polymer Master. Properties for more than 100 base polymers were consolidated from over 5,000 manufacturer datasheets. Following the structure used for metallic materials, the data is organized in three levels.

The master level contains base polymers and blends with parametric data tables. You can model properties as a function of fillers or filler amount. The second level covers engineering materials with a specific manufacturer process or composition; the data is one-dimensional and simplifies export to CAD, CAE, or PLM systems. The supplier level includes concrete supplier datasheets, including material property data and safety information where available.

Designers and developers can:

• Choose a master dataset at the start of the design process and decide later on fillers and amount
• Check consistency between master and manufacturer data
• Create models based on the parametric master datasets

Besides mechanical and physical properties, Polymer Master includes regulations for testing, nomenclature, and environmental claims, plus base polymers sorted by the VDA 231-200 classification. You also have access to the ECHA and GADSL candidate lists.
