Detailed Product Features and Technical Advantages:
- Superior Weathering Resistance: Incorporated with advanced stabilizers, PC-1100U exhibits excellent resistance to UV radiation, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. This significantly minimizes yellowing, embrittlement, and loss of mechanical properties over extended outdoor exposure.
- High Optical Clarity and Light Transmission: The granules are processed to achieve outstanding transparency, allowing for high light transmission in finished products. This makes it ideal for applications where both visibility and protection are crucial.
- Impact Strength and Toughness: Polycarbonate is renowned for its high impact resistance, and the PC-1100U grade maintains this characteristic even in weathered conditions, providing reliable protection against physical impacts.
- Good Thermal Stability: The material possesses a high heat deflection temperature, enabling its use in environments with varying thermal loads without significant deformation.
- Excellent Processability: Designed for smooth processing via standard injection molding and extrusion equipment. It offers good melt flow characteristics, aiding in the production of complex and large-area transparent parts.
- Dimensional Stability: PC-1100U provides low shrinkage and warpage during cooling, ensuring precise and consistent part dimensions critical for assembly and fit.
The following table outlines key technical specifications for the PC-1100U granules:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
What is the primary application for PC-1100U granules?
This material is primarily designed for manufacturing transparent parts that will be used outdoors. Common applications include skylights, greenhouse panels, noise barriers, outdoor machine covers, stadium roofing, and protective visors. -
How does the weather resistance compare to standard polycarbonate?
PC-1100U is formulated with enhanced UV stabilizers and other additives that provide superior resistance to sunlight, rain, and thermal cycling compared to non-weathered grades. This helps maintain clarity and mechanical properties for a longer period. -
Can this material be colored or tinted?
While supplied as transparent granules, PC-1100U can be compounded with color masterbatches during processing. It is recommended to use masterbatches compatible with polycarbonate and suitable for outdoor use to preserve weathering performance. -
What are the recommended processing conditions for injection molding?
Typical processing temperatures range from 280°C to 320°C for the melt, with a mold temperature between 80°C and 110°C. Proper drying before processing (e.g., 4-6 hours at 120°C) is essential to prevent hydrolysis and ensure optimal clarity. -
Is this product suitable for food contact applications?
The standard PC-1100U grade is not specifically certified for food contact. For such applications, please inquire about specialized grades or necessary certifications. -
What is the standard lead time and packaging?
Material is typically available in 25kg woven bags with inner liner. Lead times depend on order quantity and current inventory; we strive to ensure prompt delivery, especially from our Shanghai base. -
Do you provide technical data sheets and samples?
Yes, comprehensive technical data sheets are available upon request. We also offer sample quantities for testing and evaluation purposes to help you verify the material's suitability for your project. -
Can you customize properties like flow rate or impact strength?
As a specialist, we can discuss custom compounding options. Variations in molecular weight or additive packages can be explored to tailor properties like flow rate or impact resistance for specific needs.
