High impact flame retardant PC-GF, FR for electrical boxes

Short Description:

Material plastic The unfilled grade has a heat distortion temperature of about 130 °C, which can be increased by 10 °C after it is reinforced with glass fiber. The flexural modulus of PC can reach more than 2400 MPa, so it can be processed into a large rigid product. Below 100 ° C, the creep rate under load is very low. PC is poor in hydrolysis resistance and cannot be used to repeatedly process articles subjected to high pressure steam.

Product Detail

Product Tags

Polycarbonate is manufactured as a crystal clear and colorless, amorphous engineering thermoplastic notable for its high impact resistance (which remains high down to -40C). It has reasonably good temperature resistance, good dimensional stability and low creep but somewhat limited chemical resistance and is prone to environmental stress cracking. It also has poor fatigue and wear properties.

Applications include glazing, safety shields, lenses, casings and housings, light fittings, kitchenware (microwaveable), medical apparatus (sterilisable) and CD's (the discs).

Polycarbonate (PC) is a linear polycarbonic acid ester prepared from a dihydric phenol. Polycarbonate possesses extraordinarily good dimensional stability with a high impact strength which is maintained over a wide temperature range. This makes PC ideal for the manufacture of laboratory safety shields, vacuum desiccators and centrifuge tubes.
