Several Modification Methods and Applications of PC Materials

PC materials have the characteristics of light weight, high transparency, good impact resistance, good dimensional stability, weather resistance, good electrical insulation properties, and easy processing and molding. There are usually several modification methods such as toughening, strengthening, and flame retardant. The modified PC material has better performance and wider application, and is used in automotive parts, OA products, electronic appliances and other fields. Below we mainly look at several modification methods and applications of PC materials.

Several modification methods of PC materials

PC materials mainly have several modification methods such as flame retardant, reinforcement, and toughening.

Flame-retardant PC material: The flame-retardant performance of the material meets the industry's UL94 V0/1.5mm, and can be certified by the United States. The falling ball impact can withstand the impact of a 1.3m/500g steel ball in free fall, the welding can pass the free drop test, and the environmental performance can reach ROHS , REACH and other industry regulations, the heat distortion temperature (1.82MPa/3.20mm) reaches 127℃. Mainly used in high-end chargers, lamp holders, switch panels, OA equipment and other electronic and electrical products.

High-flow flame-retardant PC material: The material has good fluidity, easy to shape, low molding shrinkage, better toughness, sprayable, laser-engraved, good flame retardancy, and can reach UL V0/1.5. Mainly used in rugged mobile phones, flat back shells, all-in-one computer back covers, etc.

Reinforced PC material: The material has the characteristics of low floating fiber, good chemical resistance, high fuel injection yield, and good rigidity and toughness balance. It can be used in mobile phone frames, printers, copiers, cameras, learning machines, optical equipment housings, etc.

Toughened PC material: The material has good impact resistance, adjustable impact performance, small molding shrinkage, stable size, good weather resistance, high low-temperature impact, and can be sprayed. Mainly used in thin-walled products, auto parts, mobile phones and other electronic and electrical products.

Light diffusion PC material: The material has the characteristics of high light transmission, high haze, and flame retardancy. It is mainly used in extruded tubes for LED lights, light diffusion plates, injection bulbs for LED lights, lampshades, etc.

Application of modified PC materials in various fields

Optical lighting field: PC materials are used in the field of LED lighting, large lampshades, protective windows, etc.

Electronics and electrical appliances: PC materials are excellent insulating materials, used to manufacture insulating connectors, coil frames, tube sockets, insulating sleeves, telephone casings and parts, and battery casings for miner’s lamps. It can also be used to make parts with high dimensional accuracy, such as optical discs, telephones, electronic computers, video recorders, telephone switches, signal relays and other communication equipment. PC film is also widely used as capacitors, insulating bags, audio tapes, color video tapes, etc.

Mechanical equipment field: Modified PC materials are used to manufacture various gears, racks, worm gears, worms, bearings, cams, bolts, levers, crankshafts, ratchets, and can also be used as some mechanical parts guards, covers and frames.

Medical equipment field: PC materials can be used for medical cups, tubes, bottles, dental equipment, medicine containers and surgical equipment.
