Lotte HOPELEX PC-1100 General Purpose Transparent PC Resin
Product Spotlights
As a dedicated plastics processor and distributor, Shanghai Yunshan Plasticizing Co., Ltd. is proud to offer the Lotte HOPELEX PC-1100, a premier general-purpose transparent polycarbonate resin engineered for reliability and performance. Sourced directly from Lotte Chemical, a leading global producer, this resin is formulated to deliver an exceptional balance of optical clarity and mechanical toughness, making it a versatile solution for a wide array of demanding applications. We understand that manufacturers need materials that perform consistently on the production line, and PC-1100 is designed to meet those needs with stable processing characteristics and dependable quality batch after batch.
The core value of HOPELEX PC-1100 lies in its ability to combine high-impact resistance with excellent transparency, a combination often sought but difficult to achieve economically. This resin opens doors for products requiring both durability and a premium visual appearance without compromising on either. Whether you are producing protective covers, lenses, display components, or consumer goods, PC-1100 provides a material foundation that enhances product integrity and user appeal.
Detailed Product Features & Technical Advantages:
Superior Optical Properties: PC-1100 offers high light transmittance, resulting in crystal-clear finished parts. Its inherent transparency is maintained even in thicker sections, providing designers with greater flexibility.
Outstanding Impact Strength: This polycarbonate resin exhibits remarkable toughness, even at low temperatures. It can withstand sudden impacts and stresses, significantly reducing the risk of cracking or breaking in final products.
Excellent Thermal Resistance: With a high heat deflection temperature, components made from PC-1100 maintain dimensional stability and mechanical properties under elevated temperature conditions encountered in many applications.
Good Dimensional Stability: The resin features low mold shrinkage and high creep resistance, ensuring precise and consistent part dimensions crucial for assembly and fit.
Inherent Flame Retardancy: Polycarbonate possesses natural flame-retardant properties (typically UL94 V-2 rating), which can be further enhanced with additives to meet specific safety standards.
Easy Processability: Designed for general-purpose injection molding, PC-1100 flows well in the mold, allows for fast cycle times, and is suitable for a range of standard molding equipment, boosting production efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q: What is the main difference between PC-1100 and other polycarbonate grades?
A: PC-1100 is a general-purpose grade optimized for a balance of transparency, impact strength, and processability. It is an excellent starting point for many applications, whereas other grades may be specialized for extreme heat, chemical resistance, or specific regulatory approvals.Q: Is this resin suitable for food contact applications?
A: The standard PC-1100 grade is not specifically certified for food contact. For such applications, specialized food-grade polycarbonate resins compliant with relevant regulations (like FDA) are available upon request.Q: What are the recommended drying conditions before processing PC-1100?
A: Polycarbonate is hygroscopic. We recommend drying at 120°C for 3-4 hours prior to molding to prevent issues like splay or hydrolysis, which can degrade mechanical properties.Q: Can PC-1100 be tinted or colored?
A: Yes, absolutely. While supplied as a transparent natural resin, PC-1100 can be easily compounded with a wide range of color masterbatches to achieve virtually any opaque, translucent, or transparent color.Q: What injection molding machine specifications are ideal for this resin?
A: A standard reciprocating screw injection molding machine with good temperature control is suitable. A general-purpose screw with an L/D ratio of 18:1 to 22:1 is commonly used. Mold temperatures between 80-120°C are recommended for optimal surface finish and dimensional stability.Q: How does PC-1100 perform in terms of UV resistance for outdoor use?
A: Standard polycarbonate has limited resistance to prolonged UV exposure, which can cause yellowing and embrittlement. For outdoor applications, we recommend using UV-stabilized versions of PC or applying protective coatings.Q: Are technical data sheets (TDS) and material safety data sheets (MSDS) available?
A: Yes, comprehensive Technical Data Sheets (TDS) and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for Lotte HOPELEX PC-1100 are available from Shanghai Yunshan Plasticizing Co., Ltd. upon request.Q: What is the typical lead time and packaging for this product?
A: The resin is typically available in 25kg paper bags with inner lining. Lead times depend on current inventory; we strive to maintain stock in Shanghai to ensure prompt delivery.
