CHIMEI WONDERLOY PC-345KP PC/ABS Resin
CHIMEI WONDERLOY PC-345KP is a high-flow Polycarbonate (PC) and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) alloy designed for injection molding.
Physical Properties
- Density: Measured per ISO 1183 with injection-molded samples, density is 1.1 g/cc (0.0397 lb/in³), aligning with standard PC-ABS grades for consistent performance.
- Melt Flow: Tested per ISO 1133 at 260 °C (500 °F) under a 5 kg (11.0 lb) load, the melt flow rate is 15 cm³/10 min, suitable for slower, more controlled molding processes.
Polymer Properties:
- Base Material: PC (Polycarbonate) + ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
- Modification Features:
- High impact and stiffness for robust structural applications in diverse environments, ensuring long-term reliability.
- Chemical resistance to carbon tetrachloride for industrial and automotive use in chemically exposed scenarios.
- Platable surface enhancing aesthetic and protective capabilities for components in visible or corrosive environments.
Applications:
WONDERLOY PC-345KP: Suited for industries requiring durable, heat-resistant, and aesthetically pleasing components. Below are its primary applications, supported by data and use-case evidence:
- Automotive Components
Applications: Interior parts (e.g., glove boxes, overhead consoles, center consoles, A/C vents), exterior lamp housings, and electroplated components (e.g., emblems, grilles).
Rationale: The high flowability (43 cm spiral flow) allows for precise molding of intricate automotive parts, while the VST of 150°C ensures stability under heat exposure (e.g., dashboards or lamp housings).
Example: Used in center consoles, where high flow enables thin-walled designs, and the non-halogen composition reduces corrosion during processing . - High-End Helmets and Sporting Goods
Applications: Safety helmets, sporting equipment casings.
Rationale: The alloy’s high impact strength (60 kJ/m²) and low-temperature toughness make it suitable for protective gear, while its high flowability supports complex helmet designs. The VST of 150°C ensures stability in outdoor conditions.
Example: High-end helmets use PC-345KP for its balance of lightweight design, toughness, and aesthetic finish, ensuring safety and visual appeal. - Home Appliances and General Molding
Applications: TV sets, appliance housings, and general-purpose molded products.
Rationale: The material’s processability and dimensional stability make it suitable for large, complex appliance housings. Its heat resistance (VST 150°C) supports use in heat-generating appliances, and the UL94 HB rating ensures moderate fire safety.
Example: TV set housings leverage PC-345KP’s high flow and smooth finish for sleek, durable designs.
