Polypropylene Flex-Memory Shell Impact Testing: Unbreakable Engineering

Airport baggage drop tests subject suitcases to severe mechanical drops from heights of 1.5 to 2.5 meters under 25 kg load weights.

1. Material Stress Test Results

- ABS Plastic: Rigid, cracks under cold impact tests (-10°C). - Polycarbonate: High strength, heavier density (1.20 g/cm³). - 100% Virgin Polypropylene (MYKASE): Density 0.90 g/cm³. Flexes under impact to absorb kinetic energy and springs back to original shape instantly without cracking.

2. MYKASE Weight & Volume Achievements

- 55cm Cabin: 55x38x23 cm | 2.9 kg | 45 Liters. - 65cm Medium: 65x44x27 cm | 3.5 kg | 77 Liters. - 75cm Large: 75x51x31 cm | 4.3 kg | 115 Liters.

Compare polypropylene, polycarbonate and ABS luggage, then explore the Oxford Series.
