Product Description
CYCOLAC™ DL100 is a high heat, high impact, and low-emission Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene/Polycarbonate (ABS/PC) blended resin. This grade is designed to offer a balanced profile of properties, including excellent dimensional stability, good processability, and high toughness. It is a versatile thermoplastic material suitable for a wide range of applications that demand superior performance compared to standard ABS grades.
Key Features
- High Heat Resistance: Maintains structural integrity at elevated temperatures.
- High Impact Strength: Excellent toughness and resistance to impact, even at low temperatures.
- Low Emissions: Formulated to meet stringent volatile organic compound (VOC) emission standards.
- Good Processability: Exhibits stable melt flow characteristics for injection molding.
- Excellent Aesthetics: Provides a high-quality surface finish.
- Dimensional Stability: Low mold shrinkage and high dimensional accuracy in molded parts.
Typical Applications
- Automotive: Interior and exterior components, such as instrument panel components, door trims, and console parts.
- Consumer Goods: Housings for kitchen appliances, power tools, and other durable goods.
- Electrical & Electronics: Enclosures, connectors, and other components requiring high heat and impact resistance.
