SABIC LEXAN HP2 Hot Sale PC Resin

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 ratio.
• Water Absorption: At 24 hours per ASTM D570, water absorption is 0.15%, indicating low moisture uptake 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), demonstrating temperature-dependent hygroscopicity.
• 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: At 300°C (572°F) under a 1.20 kg (2.65 lb) load, the melt flow rate is 16 cm³/10 min (ISO 1133) or 17.5 g/10 min (ASTM D1238), reflecting processability for molding applications.

Polymer Properties:

1. Base Material: Polycarbonate (PC)
2. Key Features:
