COVESTRO BAYBLEND FR1514 BBS073 PC/ABS Resin

Covestro Bayblend FR1514 BBS073 PC/ABS is a flame-retardant, halogen-free blend of polycarbonate (PC) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS).

Physical Properties

  • Density: Measured using injection-molded samples in accordance with ISO 1183-1, the density is 1.19 g/cc (0.0430 lb/in³).
  • Moisture Absorption at Equilibrium: Determined according to ISO 62, the moisture absorption at equilibrium is 0.20 %.
  • Water Absorption at Saturation: Tested for saturated samples per ISO 62, the water absorption at saturation is 0.50 %.
  • Viscosity: At a frequency of 1000 Hz and temperature of 260°C, the melt viscosity is 520000 cP, as per ISO 11443-A.
  • Linear Mold Shrinkage, Flow/Transverse: For a 150x105x3 mm sample at 260°C/80°C per ISO 2577, the linear mold shrinkage in flow and transverse directions is 0.0050–0.0070 cm/cm.
  • Melt Flow: As per ISO 1133, at a temperature of 260°C under a load of 5.00 kg, the melt flow rate is 19.04 g/10 min.

Polymer Properties:

  • Base Material: PC ABS blend
  • Modification Features:
    • Flame retardant with UL 94 V-0 at 1.5 mm and high chemical resistance.
    • Improved stress cracking behavior for durable applications.
    • High Vicat/B 120 temperature of 136 °C and ball indentation >= 125 °C.

Applications:

  • Electrical and Electronics: The combination of flame retardancy, good mechanical properties and excellent pre-colored aesthetics makes it the first choice for a wide range of electrical and electronic enclosures.
  • Aerospace Ground Equipment: Fuel system components, maintenance tool casings, and chemical-resistant storage solutions.
