Strength and Impact Resistance

Strength and impact resistance are prominent characteristics of injection-molded ABS-PC parts. This blend combines the toughness of ABS with the impact resistance of polycarbonate, resulting in components capable of withstanding mechanical stress and sudden impacts. The tensile strength typically ranges from 48 to 55 MPa, while the impact strength measures around 590 to 650 J/m.

Injection-molded ABS-PC parts find their niche in various industries where strength and impact resistance are pivotal. Automotive exterior parts, safety equipment components, and industrial equipment casings benefit from the blend's ability to endure mechanical stress and impact. Consumer electronics enclosures, power tool housings, and sporting goods gear also benefit, as these products often face accidental impacts during use.

Heat Stability

The heat stability of injection-molded ABS-PC parts is a crucial attribute derived from the polycarbonate component. ABS-PC can withstand elevated temperatures without deformation, thanks to its heat deflection temperature ranging from 88°C to 95°C.

Injection-molded ABS-PC parts used in Electrical equipment panels and industrial machinery casings benefit from ABS-PC's ability to maintain form and function at elevated temperatures. Automotive components located near engines and heat sources rely on this property to ensure the parts can endure the heat generated in the engine compartment.

UV Resistance

The UV resistance of injection-molded ABS-PC parts is a standout feature, making them suitable for outdoor applications. The blend's composition, including polycarbonate, provides excellent resistance to UV degradation, ensuring that the parts retain their appearance and performance even when exposed to sunlight for extended periods.

Injection-molded ABS-PC parts with UV resistance find essential applications in various outdoor products. Garden furniture, automotive exterior parts, outdoor signage, and recreational equipment can benefit from this property, as they are exposed to the harsh effects of UV radiation.

Efficient Processing

Efficient processing of injection-molded ABS-PC parts stems from the blend's optimal melt flow characteristics, enabling smooth and consistent molding. This property facilitates the precise manufacturing of intricate components, reducing production time and minimizing defects while maintaining dimensional accuracy and surface finish.

Injection-molded ABS-PC parts with efficient processing are well-suited for applications that require intricate shapes and details. Consumer electronics enclosures, medical device housings, and safety equipment components benefit from streamlined manufacturing, ensuring intricate designs are accurately reproduced while maintaining the blend's mechanical and thermal properties.
