FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions:
-
What makes EXL1414's UV resistance "enhanced" compared to standard PC?
This grade includes specific stabilizers and additives that absorb or block UV radiation more effectively, slowing down the degradation processes like chain scission and yellowing that standard PC undergoes when exposed to sunlight. -
Can this material be colored?
Yes. The natural granule can be customized with various colorants during processing. However, the choice of colorant may influence the final UV performance, so consultation for specific requirements is recommended. -
Is it suitable for food contact applications?
The standard EXL1414 grade is not specifically certified for food contact. For such applications, please inquire about available compliant grades or certifications. -
What are the main processing methods for EXL1414 granules?
It is primarily designed for injection molding and extrusion. Standard PC processing parameters apply, but machine settings should be optimized based on the specific mold and part design. -
Does enhanced UV resistance affect other mechanical properties?
The formulation aims to maintain the core mechanical properties of polycarbonate, such as impact strength and rigidity. The enhanced UV resistance is an added feature without significant compromise on these key traits. -
What packaging is provided?
The granules are typically supplied in standard 25kg bags or according to customer-specific packaging requests to ensure clean and safe transportation. -
Are technical datasheets available?
Yes. Detailed technical datasheets with comprehensive property data are available upon request to support your material selection and design process. -
What is the typical lead time for orders?
Lead times depend on order quantity and destination. Given our strategic location near Shanghai and Ningbo ports, we can offer competitive logistics schedules for both domestic and international shipments.
