PC ABS Sheet
PC ABS Sheet represents the pinnacle of engineering thermoplastics. This advanced polymer blend combines the superior impact strength and heat resistance of Polycarbonate (PC) with the excellent flexibility and processability of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS). The result is a high-performance material designed to excel in the most demanding applications, from automotive interiors to rugged electronic enclosures.
Introduction:
PC ABS Sheet represents the pinnacle of engineering thermoplastics. This advanced polymer blend combines the superior impact strength and heat resistance of Polycarbonate (PC) with the excellent flexibility and processability of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS). The result is a high-performance material designed to excel in the most demanding applications, from automotive interiors to rugged electronic enclosures.
Key Features & Benefits:
Exceptional Impact Resistance: Offers outstanding toughness and is virtually unbreakable at room and low temperatures, providing superior durability.
High Heat Resistance: Maintains structural integrity and performance at elevated temperatures, with a Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) significantly higher than standard ABS.
Enhanced Flammability Resistance: Many grades are available with UL 94 V-0 fire rating, making them ideal for safety-critical applications.
Excellent Rigidity and Strength: Provides excellent structural strength and stiffness for load-bearing components.
Superior Processability: Easy to thermoform, drill, cut, and paint. It offers better melt flow than pure PC, allowing for easier injection molding of complex parts.
Good Dimensional Stability: Performs reliably under various environmental and load conditions.
