Hi to all,

is there's some one who knows what kind of materials use for the case mold this evaporator fan,
its kind of ceramic?

 

Variant of ABS Plastic, I see a polished look to finish in a couple of
places. Or Nylon.....

Regard, Dana.

 

Have you tried a file test to see how hard it is? Take a relatively fine file for metal and see if it removes any material. If it grabs then material is below about 40 to 45 Rockwell C (HRC). I suspect many ceramics are harder than that or simply chip, not file. Reinforced plastics will file.

ABS will crumble if you expose it to hydrocarbon solvent, acetone will fog acrylic resin - the solvent resistant stuff is probably at least part nylon.

Ceramic is easy to spot - it will dull a file very quickly.

 

It is too shiny to be ceramic, unless it is glazed, which seems very unlikely.

It is likely a common polymer or blend, possibly filled or pigmented. The range of possibilities is very large, both for polymers and fillers. Since the motor is rated at just a little over 3 watts, my first guess would be acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS, a blend or "alloy") which is and extremely common low-cost moderate-performance engineering plastic. It could be a more "exotic" polymer such as polyphenylene sulfide. PPS has a higher allowable service temperature than many common polymers or polymer blends, but that seems an unlikely requirement.

Hi,

Actually when I try to open it, its hard like cement or like hard mixture of cholk or like a tiles inside, its just shine outside, but not a plastic

Hi,
yes I tried to break two of this ,
and its hard like a tile or hard mixture of cholk ,
