The technical data sheet (TDS) of Chimei KIBISAN PN-117 L200 material from Chimei corporation, if there are differences, please refer to the official website of Chimei.
As a star base grade in Chimei’s SAN resin family, KIBISAN PN-117 L200 possesses the following core technical advantages:
Top-tier surface gloss and high transparency: This model features high light transmittance and extremely low haze, imparting a crystal-like gloss texture to the final injection-molded products, making it an ideal alternative to traditional glass or low-end transparent plastics.
Outstanding rigidity and flexural modulus: It possesses a flexural modulus of up to 3000 MPa, providing high structural strength, resistance to deformation, and effectively ensuring dimensional stability during compression or long-term use.
Excellent balanced flowability: With a melt volume-flow rate (MVR) reaching 32 cm3/10 min, it demonstrates extremely stable flowability during the injection molding process, making it suitable for processing and molding various complex thin-walled articles, while minimizing issues like silver streaks and uneven material flow.
Superb chemical resistance: Compared to general polystyrene (GPPS), the presence of acrylonitrile monomers grants PN-117 L200 better resistance to edible oils, weak acids and bases, chemical cleaning agents, and certain cosmetic solutions, preventing environmental stress cracking.
With its unique physical attributes, Chimei KIBISAN PN-117 L200 plays an important role in numerous industrial and consumer goods manufacturing fields:
High-end Cosmetic Packaging: Used to manufacture substantial cosmetic bottle caps, lotion outer shells, lipstick tubes, and perfume caps, exhibiting the visual aesthetics of high-end luxury brands.
Home Appliances: Widely applied in transparent refrigerator drawers, washing machine control panels, air conditioner vent flaps, juicer cups, and blender jars where transparency and durability must coexist.
Consumer Goods: Suitable for high-grade transparent lighter casings, transparent tableware, water cups, thermos outer shells, and various high-end transparent bathroom accessories.
Office and Stationery Supplies: Manufacturing high-grade pen barrels, pencil cases, rulers, sticky note holders, and transparent calculator buttons.
Q1: What are the required drying conditions for Chimei KIBISAN PN-117 L200 before injection molding?
A: Although SAN/AS resin is not as hygroscopic as polycarbonate (PC) or polyamide (PA), routine pre-drying is still recommended to ensure the molded products are free of internal bubbles and surface silver streaks. The standard drying condition is: using a hot-air circulating oven or a dehumidifying dryer, dry continuously at 80 – 85 deg C for 2 – 3 hours.
Q2: Regarding transparent materials, what is the difference between PN-117 L200 (SAN) compared to PMMA (Acrylic) or PC (Polycarbonate)?
A:
Compared to PMMA: PN-117 L200 offers better chemical resistance and slightly higher impact strength. Meanwhile, when injection molding mass-produced or complex structured parts, it provides better processing flowability and often maintains a competitive price advantage.
Compared to PC: Polycarbonate (PC) has significantly higher impact strength and heat resistance, but PN-117 L200 offers better surface hardness (more scratch-resistant), lower molding temperatures (lower production energy consumption), easier processing, and its raw material cost is substantially lower than PC, making it a perfect balanced solution for balancing performance and budget in mid-range transparent products.
Q3: Does this material comply with international environmental and regulatory compliance certifications?
A: Yes. As an authentic original material from the global petrochemical giant Chimei Corporation, KIBISAN PN-117 L200 fully complies with mainstream international trade and access standards. It not only comes with original factory TDS and MSDS support, but also strictly complies with environmental regulations such as RoHS and REACH. In terms of flame-retardant performance, it has passed the authoritative international UL-94 HB certification, safeguarding smooth customs clearance and terminal applications for independent website buyers.
