SABIC LEXAN 143R Hot Sale PC Resin

SABIC LEXAN 143R is a UV – stabilized, non – halogenated PC by SABIC with internal mold release for various applications.

Physical Properties

  • Specific Gravity: As measured by ASTM D792, the specific gravity is 1.20 g/cc, a dimensionless value relative to water density.
  • Density: Determined per ASTM D792, the density is 1.19 g/cc (0.0430 lb/in³), specifying the material’s mass-to-volume relationship.
  • Water Absorption: At 24 hours per ASTM D570, water absorption is 0.15%, indicating minimal moisture intake under standard conditions.
  • Moisture Absorption at Equilibrium: Under ASTM D570, equilibrium moisture absorption is 0.35% at room temperature and 0.58% at 100°C (212°F), showing temperature sensitivity.
  • Linear Mold Shrinkage, Flow: Via the SABIC method for 3.20 mm (0.126 in) thickness, flow shrinkage ranges 0.0050–0.0070 cm/cm (in/in), critical for mold design accuracy.
  • Melt Flow: As per ASTM D1238 at 300°C (572°F) with a 1.20 kg (2.65 lb) load, the melt flow rate is 10.5 g/10 min, reflecting processability for molding applications.

Polymer Properties:

  1. Base Material: Polycarbonate (PC)
  2. Modification Features
    • UV – stabilized, protecting against UV – induced degradation.
    • Has internal mold release, facilitating the demolding process.
    • Non – halogenated, meeting environmental and safety requirements.

Applications:

  1. Automotive: In automotive, it’s used for headlight lenses. Its UV – stabilization and optical properties ensure clear lighting and long – term performance.
  2. Building and Construction: For building applications like skylights, its UV resistance and non – halogenated nature meet safety and durability requirements.
  3. Consumer Electronics: In consumer electronics, it suits device housings. The internal mold release and UV – protection simplify production and protect the device.
