SABIC LEXAN OQ3420 PC Resin
SABIC LEXAN™ OQ3420 is a medium-viscosity polycarbonate (PC) resin designed for optical data storage, primarily compact discs (CDs) and digital versatile discs (DVDs).
Physical Properties
- Specific Gravity: Tested per ASTM D792, the material’s specific gravity is 1.20 g/cc, indicating its density relative to water.
- Linear Mold Shrinkage, Flow:SABIC method gives 0.0050–0.0070 cm/cm (in/in) flow-direction shrinkage for 3.20 mm (0.126 in) thickness.
- Melt Flow: As per ASTM D1238, the melt flow rate is 10.5 g/10 min under a 1.20 kg (2.65 lb) load at 300 °C (572 °F).
Polymer Properties:
- Base Material: Polycarbonate (PC)
- Modification Features:
- Medium viscosity, suitable for ophthalmic lens manufacturing processes.
- UV – stabilized to protect eyes from harmful UV rays.
Applications:
- Ophthalmic Lenses: Specifically designed for manufacturing corrective lenses for glasses, providing clear vision while protecting the eyes from UV damage.
- Optical Devices: Can be used in magnifying glasses for reading or inspection, where medium viscosity and UV stability are required for optimal performance.
