SABIC LEXAN OQ3420 PC Resin

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.
