Hello to all

I am designing plastic tool box, and I am almost finished with this.

The points I am left to select are:

1) type of PP for top[560 x 260 x 100 mm] and bottom [560 x 260 x 200 mm] part of tool box(wall thickness 2 mm).

* especially I am interested in min. MFR, Flexural modulus, and Izod Impact Strength (notched) at 23 C[ISO 180]

2) type of material for transparent but smoked covers [260 x 104 x 15] - wall thickness 1.6 mm

* PC vs PP vs PET with the regards to "smoked" effect

* min. MFR, Flexural modulus, and Izod Impact Strength (notched) at 23 C[ISO 180]

thank you in advance

Jacek
