Consumer Goods and Medical Devices: Applicable for high-end water cups, storage containers, office automation equipment parts, and basic medical device housings.
Q1: Is drying treatment required before injection molding processing of Lotte PC-1100?
A: Yes. Polycarbonate (PC) is a hygroscopic polymer and must be thoroughly dried prior to processing. It is recommended to use a dehumidifying dryer to dry the material at 100-120 ℃ for 3-4 hours, strictly controlling the moisture content below 0.02% to prevent quality defects such as hydrolysis, silver streaks, or bubbles during high-temperature injection molding.
Q2: What are the core advantages of PC-1100 compared to PMMA (acrylic) materials?
A: Although PMMA has excellent surface hardness and light transmittance, the impact strength (notched Izod impact of 780 J/m) and toughness of Lotte PC-1100 far exceed those of PMMA, making it less prone to brittle fracture. Furthermore, PC-1100 possesses a higher heat deflection temperature (132 ℃ @ 1.8 MPa), making it better suited for industrial applications subjected to mechanical stress and elevated temperature environments.
Q3: Does this grade comply with environmental and regulatory certification requirements?
A: The production of Lotte Chemical PC-1100 complies with international environmental standards and meets RoHS and REACH regulatory requirements. If your export project involves food contact or specific industry safety certifications (such as UL flame retardancy and related food-contact compliance documents), it is recommended to verify the corresponding batch’s official compliance reports with us prior to formal volume procurement.
